The mighty Basilica of Mary Help of Christians stands in the small village of Brezje near Radovljica in the Gorenjska region, beneath the Karavanke mountains.
[⛪️] In 2000, the basilica was declared Slovenia’s national shrine. Every year on the Feast of the Assumption – known in Slovenia as veliki šmaren – more than 10,000 people visit this national shrine in Brezje, where masses are held throughout the day.
