As part of the worldwide pilgrimage “From Ocean to Ocean”, the Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa arrived on 3 April at the Archdiocesan Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Rio de Janeiro.

Thanks to this visit, Our Lady is creating a special prayer bridge between Poland and Brazil, which are currently on the front lines of the battle to protect life. On April 1 of this year, the Icon of Częstochowa, travelling around the world in defence of the civilization of life and love, arrived at the national Marian sanctuary of Nossa Senhora de Conceição Aparecida – Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Appeared in the town of Aparecida in Brazil.

The veneration of holy icons unites the Catholic Church (of the West) and the Orthodox Churches (of the East). During Her journey through the world "From Ocean to Ocean", Our Lady of Czestochowa visited both Catholic churches and sanctuaries, as well as Orthodox churches.
