In 1956, a group of young people as part of a pilgrimage to the Portuguese pilgrimage site of Fatima, where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to three shepherd children on May 13, 1917, picked up a Madonna figure and placed it in the grotto, which was formerly a quarry , set up.
The ceremonial inauguration took place on Trinity Sunday in 1956.
In 2006 the installation of the Madonna figure was repeated for the 50th time. For this reason, the Naumburg parish once again organized a pilgrimage to Fatima.
The grotto is used especially in May for the May prayers and in the month of the rosary in October for services in the open air.
Once a year, on the Saturday after Ascension Day, a pilgrimage takes place from Baunatal to the Fatima Grotto.
