Zdislava pilgrimage in Jablonné v Podještědí

Every year pilgrims come to Jablonné v Podještědí near Liberec in North Bohemia to St. Zdislava, the patron saint of families, protector of marriages and the helper of the sick, to ask for her intercession-for their healing and recovery of their loved ones, for the protection of their families - or to thank her for her help. In 1907 Zdislava from Lemberk was declared blessed and in 1995 she was declared a saint by Pope John Paul II. Throughout the day church services take place in the local minor basilica of St. Lawrence and St. Zdislava.
