A must for every believer, visitor and pilgrim is a visit to the Chapel of Mercy with its image of the Virgin Mary “Consolatrix Afflictorum”, “Comforter of the afflicted”. Here many believers ask Mary, the mother of Jesus, for help or intercession with God. Many also seek consolation here. And even if you are not a believer, you can feel the very special atmosphere that emanates from this place. The numerous sacrificial candles that are lit in the candle chapel also contribute to this.
