The Madonna of Mariazell, also known as Magna Mater Austriae, is one of the many revered Marian figures in the Christian faith. Especially in Austria and Central Europe, she plays a central spiritual role. The story of the Madonna of Mariazell dates back to the 12th century, when the Benedictine monk Magnus brought a statue of the Virgin Mary to Mariazell. The site soon became one of Europe's most important pilgrimage destinations. Made in Austria.
