Marija Bistrica

Svetište Majke Božje Bistričke jedno od najpopularnijih i najposjećenijih marijanskih svetišta u Hrvatskoj. To je hrvatsko nacionalno svetište. Nalazi se u Mariji Bistrici. Kip Majke Božje Bistričke potječe iz 15. stoljeća i bio je u crkvi na Vinskom Vrhu. Zbog opasnosti od Turaka, Gospin kip premješten je u župnu crkvu u Mariji Bistrici, a 1650. zazidan u jedan prozor. Nastojanjem zagrebačkog biskupa Martina Borkovića kip je pronađen 1684. i stavljen na počasno mjesto. Od tada počinju brojna hodočašća.
