In the afternoon of the 25th of October in Altotting the Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa was welcomed at the famous shrine of the Mother of God, the Queen of Bavaria “Unsere Liebe Frau”, where the Marian cult is believed to have started at the time of St Rupert of Salzburg (died in 715), known as the apostle of Bavaria. It was him who had a small church built in the place, called today the Chapel of Graces. At this place St Rupert baptised king of Bavaria, Otto.
In the morning on Thursday, October 25th, the Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa visited Munich. After a night vigil in St. Joseph`s Church belonging to the Polish Catholic Mission in Germany, at 8.00 AM the Icon was taken to the popular church of St Paul`s near Theresienwiese in the city centre. There was a problem with timing again because it was the rush hour time.
Our Blessed Mother in the Czestochowa Icon arrived in Munich on the first day of the pilgrimage through Germany (October 24) and initially visited the church of St. Joseph, belonging to the Polish Mission. The visit schedule for the German region was so full that the Polish faithful did not receive the Icon until 11:00 pm.
The representatives of the German pro-life organizations just did not make it for the celebration of the Eucharist in St. Gallen on the Swiss side of the border, even though they greatly desired to be there. It began with a breakdown of their car engine, which simply just "did not start." Frustrated, they had to rent the right type of vehicle which they used to drive directly to the cathedral in city of Constance (Ger. Konstanz).
On Wednesday, October 24, the Icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa began "Her" visit in Germany. The transfer of the Icon from the pro-life organization Human Life International – Switzerland was completed by Alexandra Wind in the Cathedral Basilica of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Konstanz.
