Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
Slovenia's national Marian shrine and largest pilgrimage center, focused on Leopold Layer's venerated image of Mary Help of Christians. Reported favors belong to the image's devotional history; Brezje is not presented as the site of a Marian apparition.
