Germany: Chapel of Grace in Altötting

Yesterday I got six postcards: one from Germany, two from Austria, one from Estonia and two from the USA.

The card from Germany shows the Chapel of Grace in Altötting. The Chapel of Grace is an important pligrimage site. It is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and is known for the many healings which have taken place there.
I got this card a few weeks ago in a cover.


With a matching stamp:
Shrines of Europe (issued 02-05-2016)
with a special postmark from Altötting
Shrines of Europe is a coalation of six sites of Marian pilgrimage in Europe. It was founded in 1996. The members are Mariazell in Austria, Lourdes in France, Altötting in Germany, Loreto in Italy, Częstochowa in Poland and Fátima in Portugal. 


Thank You very much Christine for sending me the cards in an envelope!
