Herrgott Shrine in der Feichten

Another special feature is the Marterl Herrgott in der Feichten, which is located in the state forest south of Lappach. According to tradition, a woman dependent on crutches looked for protection under a large spruce tree there around 100 years ago in a thunderstorm night. Her prayers are said to have been answered so that the next morning the woman could hang her crutches on the "fig tree" and return home healthy. As thanks for the miraculous healing, the woman had a large hole drilled in the spruce and a carved body of Christ (without a cross) attached, which was later replaced by a Mother of God. After the spruce was felled, a large cross and a prayer bench were set up there. In 1990 the cross remained upright in the Wiebke hurricane in the midst of fallen trees.

Short break for quick prayer 🙏

A nice place to reflect 😉
