The Marianske Pilgrimage
|
 |
The Church of the Annunciation of
the Blessed Virgin Mary is built on top of a steep hill over
looking Levoca. Every year thousands of pilgrims from all around
Slovakia make the journey up the hill, to demonstrate their
love for God. |
|
The Marianske Pilgrimage played an important role for
Slovak Catholics during the Communist era, and in 1995
the Basilica was honored by a visit from Pope John Paul
II.
