This pilgrimage chapel is dedicated to the Mother of God under the special patronage of the "Seven Sorrows of Mary" (also known as "Mater Dolorosa," as can be read on the mosaic image). In the corresponding depictions, the Mother of God is surrounded by seven swords stabbing her in the heart. The biblical origin of this can be found in the Gospel of Luke, where Simeon says to Mary about her son, Jesus Christ: + "Behold, this man is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel. He will be a sign that will be spoken against, and a sword will pierce through your soul..." + (Luke 2:34-35) More photos and texts about this pilgrimage chapel can be found in the corresponding hiking highlight.
