Description
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.
Many charitable speeches have been recorded through the history of the sanctuary from 1688 until today. Architect Hermann Bolle renewed and expanded the church and built a cintor around the shrine, and here we see a small part of the Thanksgiving.
