Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
Slovakia's national Marian shrine centers on the venerated 1564 statue of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows. The September 15 national pilgrimage honors the patroness of Slovakia; this is sacred-image devotion with documented ecclesial approval, not an apparition site.
