<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9579665, member: 2844&quot;]Thank you very much, I love this kind of thing, especially when it is our local history.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is certainly the Madonna of Kevelaer, I have seen her often enough. My grandmother used to go on pilgrimage to Kevelaer, but she grew up in Limburg, close to Kevelaer. I went with her several times, and my parents were friends with a gallery owner there.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Madonna of Kevelaer is actually a small print of the Madonna of Luxembourg, as it says on the print. I believe a soldier carried the print with him, for protection. I don&#039;t remember the full story, but I&#039;m sure it is online somewhere.</p><p>But even though she is &#039;just&#039; a very small print, she is miraculous, and that&#039;s what counts.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have time now, but I&#039;ll do some digging into local brotherhoods tomorrow.</p><p>I don&#039;t think they would have been able to hold public processions at the time, because of the restrictions on the Catholic faith, which hadn&#039;t been lifted yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
