From the collection of Museum Sacrum, items from Roman Catholicism collected by the sacristan. Since 1525, a miraculous Statue of Mary has been worshipped in the church of the Franciscans, by the inhabitants of Maastricht and by pilgrims. At the end of the 17th century, Our Lady Vrouw van Maastricht received the title 'Sterre der Zee'. In 1837 the statue was placed in the O.L. Vrouwekerk; in 1903 it was given its current place in de Mérode chapel. Here, as a patron of the city of Maastricht, she still forms the centre of a massive and continuous worship with the procession during the holy week as a highlight. This smaller figurine is intended for home worship. Your purchase will be properly packaged directly upon payment and will be shipped by insured mail with a track & trace code.
