English Summary:
Máriagyód is located in Southern Transdanubia, about 25 km south of Pécs, at the foot of Tenkes Mountain. Today, Siklós is a district. The roots of its famous grape culture go back to Roman times. The first documented mention of Gyűd dates back to 1290. The XVII. at the end of the 19th century, apparitions of Mary occur, and legends are born, according to which a statue of Mary has stood here since the Slavs who lived here before the Hungarians, and that the place is under the protection of Our Lady of Forrásközi. From 1689, Franciscans take care of the shrine.
The grace statue visible today was donated by Bishop Vilmos Nesselrode in 1713. Between 1739-1742, the church was enlarged and rebuilt in the Baroque style.
In 1805, Pope Pius V declared Gyűd a church of grace and granted it farewell privileges. In 1950, when the monastic orders were dissolved, the shrine was taken over from the Franciscans by secular priests. In the nineties, the church was completely renovated.
In 2008, XVI. Pope Benedict grants the church of grace the title of basilica minor, which brings with it new farewell privileges. Even today, thousands and thousands of people come for a farewell, looking for the inner peace that the world - even any rich person - cannot provide.
