Marian Shrines tour is one of the most popular Catholic tours in Europe. Here we start with Fatima via Lisbon before continue to Spain. It is here in Fatima where Virgin Mary appeared to three kids at Cova da Iria repeatedly during the period of six months in 1917, sharing prophecies as well as messages together. The article below discusses about the Marian Shrines tour designed for pilgrims.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima consists of monumental basilica, the old one and then the new one consecrated during the papacy of Pope John Paul II. Both are now embracing the site of the apparition, Little Chapel as we call chapel built right at the place of the apparition of Our Lady to three children. It is among the most important Marian Shrines in Europe. Pilgrimages are conducted by priests, bishops, archbishops throughout the year, through all 12 months but the most popular times to go to are on the thirteenth of each month from May 13th which is considered the Anniversary until the October 13th which is that last time Our Lady appeared to visionaries in Fatima.

Lourdes in France attracts more than five million ...
... pilgrims every year. Virgin Mary, Immaculate Conception as She introduced herself, appeared here on eighteen various occasions. The apparition took place near the town of Lourdes. Our Lady has chosen little Bernadette Soubiroux for first apparition here in February 11, 1858. She had been appearing to Bernadette in little cave, grotto, of the rock Maisabelle. There were total eighteen apparitions and the last one happened July 16 same year. At the site local population with their priest Peyramale built basilica right above the Maisabelle. Later under the first one Rosary Basilica was built, much larger one as the first turned out to be too small for the great number of pilgrims that were coming to Lourdes. Lourdes as a Marian Shrine is known as place where pilgrims can drink from the well miraculously created by Virgin who first asked Bernadette to drink and wash from there! Later also hospital lodging for ill pilgrims was added and pilgrims daily collect Lourdes miraculous water.

Our last Marian Shrine we will go to is Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina, part of the country where Croatian people make the majority. Since 1981 Queen of Peace, Mother of God has been appearing here first to 6 children and today it is only 3 of them. Three visionaries according to their words have received all 10 secrets and Our Lady doesn’t appear to them anymore daily but only once a year. This is still very inspirational pilgrimage destination for hundreds of thousands pilgrims who come here every year. Beautiful mountains, rivers and rocky scenery surrounding Medjugorje reminds us of the great God’s creation.

The Marian shrines tour in our Lady associated with Guadalupe was built-in Tepeyac, South America, where Mary seemed to Juan Diego within 1531 as well as instructed him to construct a chapel in the woman's honor. Whenever he informed his Archbishop associated with his experience, he had been instructed to come back and request proof how the apparition had been indeed Jane.

He had been told to collect flowers on the hilltop which was usually unwelcoming and discovered roses that he collected in their cloak. On emptying the actual cloak associated with flowers, a picture of the actual Virgin had been found produced where they'd lain. The cloak has become on display in a second basilica constructed nearby, used whilst reparations had been being designed to the unique building. You can pay a visit to the Marian Shrines by opting for a Holy Land travel package offered by a reputed travel company.
