BASILICA OF OUR LADY

MARIA PLAIN, BERGHEIM BEI SALZBURG

AUSTRIA

The baroque pilgrimage church with a miraculous image of Our Lady is sitting on a hill high above Salzburg.

"Like Mary, the Church is the mediator of God’s blessing for the world: she receives it in receiving Jesus and she transmits it in bearing Jesus.”

- Pope Benedict XVI

The clouds were setting into the Alps surrounding Salzburg on the South. It added to the mysterious atmosphere of the late autumn afternoon.
