Our Lady of Sichem
Sichem, Israel (474)
The shrine in Brabant in the duchy of Louvain, is a replacement of the one below Mount Garizim, Israel.
On several occasions the Christians who settled there suffered greatly at the hands of the Samaritans.
In 474 the emperor gave Mount Garizim to the Christians, who built on it a church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin.
The ancient statue of Our Lady of Sichem, or Our Lady of ‘Montaigu’, which is the title more commonly used today, has been venerated in Belgium from very early times.
