    This small chapel is consecrated to Our Lady, under the title "Notre Dame des Sept Douleurs", literally translated "Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows", we usually refer to this title for Maria in the German language as the "painful" or "painful Madonna" ". In the depictions that go with it, Our Lady is usually surrounded by seven swords that stab her in the body or in the heart. Its biblical origin can be found in the Gospel of Luke, where Simeon says to Mary about her son Jesus Christ: "See, he is destined to cause many in Israel to fall and be raised up, and he will be a sign that is contradicted and a sword will pierce your soul ... "(Luke 2, 34-35)

      The Lourdes Madonna is installed in the Marian Grotto shown here. The Marian pilgrimage site of Lourdes is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by many people every year, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God has become widespread - not only in France - and Lourdes chapels and grottos have been built by believers everywhere.
      The ecclesiastical memorial day "Our Lady in Lourdes" is February 11th, this is the anniversary of the Apparition of the Virgin Mary (1858), when Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto very close to Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. She was canonized by Pope Pius XI on December 8, 1933 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary).
      The Day of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.

        From the dream loop there is a 30 meter walk to a small clearing with a chapel and grotto. Should not be missed.
