On Friday afternoon, September 21st, the faithful in Trnovcica were bidding Our Lady farewell with regret and great emotion. She was leaving for the Shrine of Our Lady of Remete located in the northern part of Zagreb on the slopes of Mount Sljeme. It is the oldest Marian shrine in Croatia, founded by the Pauline Emerites in 1288 A.D. The name "Remete" comes from the Latin word for hermitage - eremus (hermit in Croatian).
