Last March snow in Einsiedeln Monastery

The Benedictine monastery with the collegiate church and library has a history of over a thousand years. Since the Middle Ages, the Chapel of Grace with the "Black Madonna" has been one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Europe and a destination for many travelers. In front of the monastery there is the famous 14-arm Madonna fountain from which holy water flows. Having made a wish, you need to drink water from each sleeve, i.e. Bow down 14 times, and then it will be fulfilled, and illnesses will subside.
