I often watch PBS's travel shows that run on Sunday night. This week on Burt Wolf's show, he traveled to Jasna Gora and the shrine to Our Lady of Czestochowa. But he was stating that a "Russian" prince housed the famous Icon at Belz before it came to Poland. Correct we if I'm wrong, but wasn't Belz a Ukrainian area of the Polish-Lithuania Kingdom and not Czarist Russia??

Dear Ung-Certez,

I'm sure that was just a slip of the tongue . . .

I'm sure he meant a "Prince of Kyivan-Rus'" wink

And, at that time, today's "Russians" were called "Muscovites" by the rest of the world - it was only with Peter I that the name-change took effect.
