MARIJA BISTRICA a Croatian national shrine (svetište), by CEHULIĆ family

Marija Bistrica in Krapina-Zagorje County in central Croatia, has an old Marian shrine which is a famous place of pilgrimage.
The votive statue the Mother of God of Bistrica dates from the end of the 15th century and belongs to the series of black Madonnas, althought as it was discovered during the restoration its dark colour is not original. The late Gothic wooden statue of the Bistrica Mother of God is the work of an annonymous master.
On October 3, 1998, Pope John Paul II visited Marija Bistrica.
