Our Lady Help of Christians 1866 (Filipov/ Filippsdorf)

In 1866 the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a sick and bedridden young woman named Magdalene Kade. Through Mary's intercession Magdalene was cured of severe lifelong illness. The place where Magdalene was bedridden later was turned into a chapel that was eventually elevated to the status of a Minor Basilica by Pope Leo 13th. Mary's visit to Magdalene reminds us of Mary's love and care for all of God's children.
