An officer’s uniform of Karol Wojtyla’s father is on display at the historic house museum of the Holy Father John Paul II Family Home in Wadowice, Poland on April 7, 2014, two days ahead of its official opening. The museum was the family home of Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope John Paul II whose canonization will take place on April 27, 2014. In Poland late Pope John Paul II is a national hero and top moral authority — even today — and is beloved like nowhere else. AFP PHOTO/JANEK SKARZYNSKI
