THIS IS THE RED BISHOP PIECE FOR THE RED SIDE IN THE GAME OF CHESS _____________________________________________________________________________ Maria Izabela (real name: Antonina Wiłucka-Kowalska) 1890-1946 was a Polish religious leader, who served as the first Bishop of the Old Catholic Mariavite Church. Maria married the leader of the church, Archbishop Jan Maria Michał Kowalski on 3 October 1922, in one of the first secret mystical marriages – between a priest and a nun. Wiłucka-Kowalska was the first woman to receive the sacrament of holy orders in Poland and consecration as a bishop. In 1929, after the introduction of the ordination of women in the Old Catholic Mariavite Church, Maria and 11 other nuns were ordained in 1929 and then Maria was consecrated as a bishop. Maria Izabela survived the Soldau Concentration Camp and is considered a saint. _____________________________________________________________________________ MOVEMENT | The bishop moves diagonally. Every bishop is confined to half of the board, as it can move only on its respective light or dark squares. A light-squared bishop can move only on light squares, while a dark-squared bishop can move only on dark squares. _____________________________________________________________________________ HELPING OTHER WOMEN | This chess piece (like the entire Woman Warrior Chess Set Collection) is inspired by Japanese kimonos and medieval carvings.
