Why pilgrims come

Enter a place shaped by prayer, community, and pilgrimage

A Basilian monastery and major UGCC Marian pilgrimage center on Yasna Hora. The historic original Hoshiv icon disappeared during persecution; the image now venerated is a later copy returned to the Basilians in 2001 and crowned in 2009 with crowns blessed by Benedict XVI.

Read Hoshiv through Basilian monastic prayer, a missing original, a carefully documented successor image, and the persistence of Carpathian pilgrimage.
