The Holy Cross Cathedral stands in the heart of Warsaw, Poland, and its fate is closely linked to the fate of the city and the entire Polish nation. Only a deep understanding of the city and the history of the nation will know the silent prayer in the hearts of the people in the cathedral. The Church of the Holy Cross is one of Warsaw's most famous churches because it contains the heart of Chopin, Poland's greatest pianist. This church was once where Chopin lived, and the heart is currently preserved in the second pillar on the left side of the church, which is carved with Chopin's life as decoration.
