Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
A major Slovenian pilgrimage church built around 1410 and famed for the Gothic relief of Mary spreading her mantle over a community of eighty-two figures. The local legend of a blind girl's healing is preserved as tradition rather than recast as a documented apparition.
