The Wieskirche, or Wies Church, is one of the most important places of pilgrimage in southern Germany.
the prominence of the Wieskirche came about through a religious "wonder".
In this case, it was a fairly prosaic statue of the "Scourged Saviour" which had been taken from the inn of the monastery in Steingaden by a farmer's wife in Wies. In 1738 they claimed that they had seen tears in the eyes of the statue at their evening prayers at
Steingaden, Germany.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE READ***Combined shipping for International orders is not always possible due to the size restrictions for shipping via USPS First Class International Letter Rates.
