The pilgrim’s guide
What makes this visit meaningful
Pray in the small historic church where the Cape devotion grew, then continue into the modern basilica and Rosary Garden. The shrine's 'Prodigy of the Eyes' and ice-bridge traditions belong to its devotional history and should be presented as shrine tradition, not as a formally approved apparition.
