The European Marian Network links twenty
Sanctuaries together -the same number can be found
in the number of decades in a rosary.
The map right, offers approximate locations of each
of these Sanctuaries. Notice how many are situated
behind the former "Iron Curtain".
To reveal more information
about each Sanctuary in its respective country:
mouseover each black box. A small window will
appear over this same dotted area. As long as you
keep your cursor on the same black box the same
window will remain.
The best known Sanctuary from each country was
chosen. No other implication should be construed by
this criteria.
Under different titles,
the Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated in every
country, in different ways and Christian
confessions. May Mary's intercession help nations
and people's grow in union with each other.
The European Marian Network started in 2003 with
Rome's encouragement. Members meet each year to
discuss their experiences and needs as places of
pilgrimage. This is in reality a monumental task,
for millions of pilgrims gather each year around
these Sanctuaries. The Network then affords a
magnificent forum for dialogue and support.
The Marian Network is constantly reviewing the role
of Sanctuaries in the "New Evangelisation". It
seeks to better offer the "Good News" of the Gospel.
