Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes Basilica of Our Lady of Hungary at Márianosztra a place of pilgrimage
An active Pauline Marian basilica centered on a venerated copy of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, with calvary and annual pilgrimages. The adjoining former monastic complex is now a prison, so the active basilica and public devotional grounds must be distinguished from restricted institutional space.
Follow the Hungarian Pauline story from Budapest's cave church to this rural basilica, Black Madonna, calvary, and continuing pilgrimage.
