In the foothills of the Alps, near the other basilica in Hall, there is St Michael' s basilica in Absam. The place became a pilgrimage site in 1797 when a portrait of Our Lady miraculously appeared on a window pane in a local farmhouse.
"Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.”
- St Michael Prayer
Early afternoon visit, I combined my trip with the nearby basilica in Hall. It is a beautiful village church and I was happy to find it open and pray to the archangel Michael in front of the miraculous image of Our Lady.
