Rare commemorative badge of the Eucharistic Congress held in Lviv in 1928.
The Eucharistic Congress in Lviv was one of the city's most important religious events during the Second Polish Republic. Organized at the initiative of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Lviv, Bolesław Twardowski , it was intended to revive and deepen the devotion to the Eucharist and brought together clergy, government officials, Catholic organizations, and large crowds of the faithful.

Numerous representatives of the Polish episcopate, as well as the Primate of Poland, Cardinal August Hlond, participated in the ceremonies.
