Why pilgrims come

A sacred place worth the journey.

A spiritual heart of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the destination of major national, youth, military, and healthcare pilgrimages. Devotion centers the venerated Zarvanytsia icon and spring. The medieval Marian appearance belongs to sanctuary tradition; this record does not invent a modern canonical apparition decree.
