Description
The most famous Croatian Marian Shrine of Marija Bistrica, located 40 km northeast of the main Croatian town of Zagreb, on the northern mountain side of Medvednica, has for centuries been a central place in the faithful life of the Croatian people.
In this Croatian Mary's sanctuary and patronage is celebrated the miraculous statue of Mother of God with the Child in the arms, the greatest sacred of our Croatian people. In the course of the century, millions of pious pilgrims have been kneeling and praying and receiving help and hearing from the heavenly Mother.
Since the statue was historically several times hidden from the dangers that threatened it, it was last discovered and placed on the altar in July 1684, when pilgrimages began in this sanctuary.
Taken in June 2017, Marija Bistrica, Croatia.
