Matinka Makryna

Outstanding hoaxes, victims of which are thousands of people, even well-educated and quite wealthy, are not an invention of the "post-truth era." Mother Makryna Mechyslavska, a holy martyr for the Catholic faith, was denied favors by dignitaries and aristocrats, she had an audience with the Pope and was acquainted with Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Slovacky and Stanislav Wyspianski wrote about her.
In Jacek Denel's book, from the intertwined monologues of Makryna-Yulka, different versions of one private story appear, which shows that it is sometimes almost impossible to distinguish between piety and stupidity, sanctity and madness, and often - simply no one needs to. We always believe in what we want to believe.
