Jadwiga of Poland
Biecz was one of the towns to host the seventh annual "Małopolskie Dni Dziedzictwa Kulturowego" (Lesser Poland cultural heritage day) from 20 to 21 May 2006. On 8 June 2006, relics of Queen Jadwiga of Poland, the patron saint of Biecz, were brought to the town for a dedicated exhibition. The relics were processed along a number of city and country roads that the Queen probably walked.
