The Procession Begins

Nowiny Horynieckie, Poland

Many faithfull pilgrims come every year for the memory of Fatima Virgin Mary and take a 1.5 hour walk through the woods, with priests, BVMary statue carried by women, with hundreds of people praying the Rosary and singing.
It begins at the Franciscan cloister in Horyniec Zdroj and follows the Green Trail to Nowiny Horyniecki to a small wooden chapel.
As many people arrive on foot and by cars, they would not find enough place inside.
So the Service is held on a clearing, where an altar is constructed as well as many benches for the pilgrims.
After the Mass, priests and pilgrims with candles circle the chapel, with men carrying the statue of Blessed Virgin Mary.
