STORYLINE
Pope Benedict XVI made a pilgrimage on Saturday to a famous shrine to the Virgin Mary, where he planned to celebrate an open-air Mass for more than 30,000 faithful and make a case that faith is still a force for good in Europe.
The pope was taken by car to Mariazell, about 150 kilometres (90 miles) southwest of Vienna, after more poor weather on the second day of his Austria visit prompted organisers to cancel plans to bring him there by army helicopter.
The Archdiocese of Vienna said 33,000 believers were ticketed for the event, and that scores from Eastern Europe, including 70 bishops were among the crowd, which packed a rain-slicked, fog-shrouded field.
A ripple of excitement went through the crowd as the pope arrived.
Although there have been no visions of Mary at Mariazell, it has drawn millions of pilgrims over the centuries, and Benedict said the 850th anniversary of its founding was the reason for my coming.
On Friday, Benedict acknowledged Europe's tragic past and warned of its uncertain future as he honoured Jews killed in the Holocaust, and urged the continent to accept its Christian heritage.
He said abortion must never be considered a human right, urged European political leaders to encourage young married couples to have children and said the continent's greying population must not become old in spirit.
During his three-day pilgrimage, which ends on Sunday, the pope is reaching out to disillusioned believers in this central European land, once the centre of a Catholic-influenced empire and now a wealthy but small nation that has seen considerable dissent against the church.
In his condemnation of abortion, Benedict said he was speaking out for those unborn children who have no voice.
Benedict's visit concludes on Sunday with a Mass at Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral and a visit to the Heiligenkreuz abbey outside the capital.

STORYLINE
Thousands of Christian pilgrims arrived in Mariazell, Austria on Saturday for an open-air Mass attended by Pope Benedict XVI.
The mass is to commemorate the 850th anniversary of the founding of Mariazell, a famous shrine to the Virgin Mary about 150 kilometres (90 miles) southwest of Vienna.
The pope was to be taken by car to Mariazell after more poor weather on the second day of his Austria visit prompted organisers to cancel plans to bring him there by army helicopter.
But the persistent rain didn't dampen the spirits of the thousands of pilgrims.
I am very happy that he's coming here, that he is a pilgrim like us. Most of all I am happy that he's coming to share the faith with us. I am here to show my happiness on my faith, said Sister Michaela Pfeiffer.
The Vienna Archdiocese said 33,000 pilgrims were ticketed for the event and that 70 bishops, mostly from Eastern Europe, would join in.
Benedict's Austrian visit concludes on Sunday with a Mass at Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral and a visit to the Heiligenkreuz abbey outside the capital.

MARIAZELL AUSTRIA

Nuestra Señora de Mariazell - Patrona de Austria [HD] [Widescreen]

Mariazell es el principal santuario mariano de Austria, Hungría y Bohemia. El Santuario está localizado en el poblado de Mariazell en los montes de Estiria, Austria, a unos 160 kilómetros al sudoeste de Viena y es uno de los más populares de Europa, recibiendo un millón de peregrinos al año.

Se dice que en la noche del 21 de diciembre de 1157, un monje benedictino llamado Magnus caminaba por el bosque buscando un lugar para construir un monasterio. En su camino encontró una inmensa roca que le impedía el paso. Magnus se arrodilló a rezarle a la Virgen que lo guiara. El monje oyó un gran ruido y la roca se partió en dos, permitiendo seguir su camino. En una rama junto a la roca, Magnus dejó una pequeña estatua de madera de la Virgen. Poco después, junto con personas del área, construyó una pequeña capilla para la estatua y una celda monástica. La fama de la estatua milagrosa de la Virgen pronto se propagó.

En el siglo XIII, el príncipe Enrique Ladislao de Moravia construyó la primera iglesia a la Virgen en agradecimiento a su curación. Los húngaros estaban entre los primeros en peregrinar a Mariazell. Pronto siguieron peregrinos de Croatia, Slovakia, Bohemia, Alemania y otros países.

En 1377, Luis el Grande de Hungría, construyó la Capilla de las Gracias (Gnadenkappelle) en agradecimiento por la victoria sobre los invasores turcos. Allí se venera la estatua románica de la Virgen, envuelta siempre en un manto según la tradición.

En 1907 durante el 750° aniversario de la fundación del monasterio, el Papa Pío X la constituye basílica menor y en 1908 la imagen de la Virgen, Nuestra Señora de Mariazell, recibió la corona papal. El santuario recibió a Juan Pablo II como peregrino el 13 de septiembre de 1983.

El 8 de septiembre de 2007, celebró sus 850 años con la visita del Benedicto XVI, quien dijo: Es uno de los símbolos del encuentro de los pueblos europeos en torno a la fe cristiana... Desde hace 850 años vienen aquí personas de diversos pueblos y naciones que rezan trayendo consigo los deseos de sus corazones y de sus países.

Peregrinación al Santuario de Mariazell Austria

From Ybbs to Mariazell - Austria HD Travel Channel

Our journey begins in Ybbs on the Danube, at the power plant Ybbs-Persenbeug. The run-of-the-river hydroelectricity plant is the oldest of the Austrian Danube power plants and was put into operation in 1959.
On a rock next door you can see Persenbeug Castle, the birthplace of the last Emperor Charles I of Austria.
We drive south. In the valley of the river Erlauf we arrive at Scheibbs, a small town with a medieval character. Scheibbs was the secular administration center of the monastic dominion of Gaming Charterhouse.
In the 16th century, the region experienced an economic upswing by the privilege to supply the miners at the Erzberg (ore mountain) with food. Here begins one of the Eisenstraßen (iron trade roads). Through the Eisenwurzen, as the region is called, it leads to the Erzberg in Styria. Hammer mills, small iron processing enterprises, were built along the street. In the 19th Century, this development led to the settlement of the most significant and most modern iron works and sheet metal works in the Imperial and Royal Monarchy.
1332, Duke Albrecht II of Austria, grandson of Rudolf I the Roman-German king and ancestor of the Habsburg Empire, founded the Gaming Charterhouse, which was temporarily the largest Carthusian monastery in Europe and acquired special significance when Albrecht II. relocated his family tomb from Königsfelden Abbey in the Argovia, to strengthen his territorial lordship. He, his wife Joanna of Pfirt and his daughter Elisabeth of Luxembourg are buried in Gaming. 1797, the Charterhouse was rescinded and fell under Joseph II. Since 1983, it was renovated by architect Walter Hildebrand and now houses some branches of various universities.
The pre-Alpine landscape is dominated by Oetscher. At its foot lies the crystal clear mountain lake called Erlaufsee. The region is a popular winter sports area. The Natur Park Oetscher-Tormäuer and Wildalpener Salzatal are among the most pristine landscapes in Austria. The last great virgin forest of Central Europe served once as a hunting ground for the Rothschild Family.
Mariazell, Styria, in the far north, is the most important place of pilgrimage in Austria. The statue of Magna Mater Austriae annually attracts about 1 million visitors every year.

Unsere Reise beginnt in Ybbs an der Donau, am Kraftwerk Ybbs-Persenbeug. Das Laufkraftwerk ist das älteste der österreichischen Donaukraftwerke und wurde 1959 in Betrieb genommen. Auf einem Felsen nebenan liegt Schloss Persenbeug, Geburtsstätte des letzten Kaisers Österreichs Karl I.
Wir fahren Richtung Süden. Im Erlauftal treffen wir auf Scheibbs, eine kleine Stadt mit mittelalterlichem Charakter. Damals war Scheibbs weltliches Verwaltungszentrum der Klosterherrschaft von Gaming.
Wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung erlebte die Region im 16. Jahrhundert durch das Privileg, die Bergleute am Erzberg mit Lebensmitteln zu versorgen. Hier beginnt eine der Eisenstraßen durch die Eisenwurzen, wie die Region genannt wird. Sie führt zum Erzberg in der Steiermark. Entlang der Straße wurden Hammerwerke errichtet, Eisen verarbeitende Kleinbetriebe. Diese Entwicklung führte im 19. Jahrhundert zur Ansiedlung der bedeutendsten und modernsten Eisen- und Walzblechwerke der k.k. Monarchie.
Herzog Albrecht II. von Österreich, Enkel von Rudolfs I., des römisch-deutschen Königs und Stammvater des Habsburgerreichs, gründete 1332 die Kartause Gaming, das zeitweise das größte Kartäuserkloster Europas war. Besondere Bedeutung erlangte es, weil Albrecht II. damit auch seine Familiengruft vom Kloster Königsfelden im Aargau hierher verlegte, um seine Landesherrschaft zu stärken.
Er, seine Frau Johanna von Pfirt und seine Schwiegertochter Elisabeth von Luxemburg liegen in Gaming begraben. 1797 wurde die Kartause unter Joseph II. aufgehoben und verfiel. Seit 1983 wurde sie von Architekt Walter Hildebrand renoviert und beherbergt heute einige Außenstellen verschiedener Universitäten.
Die voralpine Landschaft, wird vom Ötscher überragt. An seinem Fuß liegt der kristallklare Erlaufsee. Im Winter ist die Region ein beliebtes Wintersportgebiet. Die Naturschutzgebiete Ötscher-Tormäuer und Wildalpener Salzatal gehören zu den ursprünglichsten Landschaften Österreichs. Der letzte große Urwald Mitteleuropas diente einst den Rothschilds als Jagdrevier.
Mariazell, im äußersten Norden der Steiermark, ist der bedeutendste Wallfahrtsort Österreichs. Das Gnadenbild „Magna Mater Austriae zieht jährlich etwa 1 Million Besucher an.

Mariazell Austria Film Sandeep Kumar Vienna Austria

Mariazell is a small city in Austria, in Styria, well known for winter sports, N. of Graz. It is picturesquely situated in the valley of the Salza, amid the north Styrian Alps.
It is a site of pilgrimage for Catholics from Austria and neighboring countries. The object of veneration is an image of the Virgin Mary reputed to work miracles, carved in lime-tree wood. This was brought to the place in 1157, and is now enshrined in a chapel adorned with objects of silver and other costly materials. The large church of which the chapel forms part was erected in 1644 as an expansion of a smaller church built by Louis I, King of Hungary, after a victory over the Turks in 1363.

Mariazell & St. Pölten - in beautiful AUSTRIA

I'm sorry - The subtitles did not upload correctly to YouTube. Try to ignore them if you can!
Of the myriad of day trip possibilities (or overnight) from Vienna, one of the best is to head into the picturesque Alps and visit the charming mountain shrine town and ski resort of Mariazell. Mariazell is splendidly situated in the eastern Alps of Austria, right across the border of Lower Austria in the province of Steirmark (Styria). It is Central Europe's most revered religious destination for its famous shrine and basilica. Yet it also is a top-notch ski resort in winter. Of course Alpine hiking and biking can be undertaken through much of the year. And there is always local beer and other specialties.

To get there, one travels to the lovely capital city of Lower Austria - St. Pölten - on a choice of trains from Vienna's Westbahnhof. In St. Pölten, one changes to the classic narrow gauge mountain railway called the Mariazellerbahn. This is still a working train route, operating several times daily, every day of the year. The trains are very old and proceed slowly but they carry you through some gorgeous valley and mountain scenery. It is not a tourist train; it's a real train operated by Austrian National Railways.

And if you have time, why not make a stop in St. Pölten. Its maze of pedestrian streets and plazas in the old town, complemented by some striking modern architecture in the government quarter make for a pleasant stroll.

So sit back and breathe in the mountain air while you travel to Mariazell, listening to Josef Haydn's Emperor Quartet. This music by Haydn is a set of variations based on the Imperial Austrian Anthem that he had earlier composed to rally the peoples of the Austrian Empire and to honor the Habsburgs in their heroic battles against the forces of Napoleon. Peace!

STORYLINE
Pope Benedict XVI made a pilgrimage on Saturday to a famous shrine to the Virgin Mary, where he celebrated an open-air Mass in the rain for more than 30,000 believers and called on Europeans to embrace faith.
The pope was taken by car to Mariazell, about 150 kilometres (90 miles) southwest of Vienna, after more poor weather on the second day of his Austria visit prompted organisers to cancel plans to bring him there by army helicopter.
The Archdiocese of Vienna said 33,000 believers were ticketed for the event, and that scores from Eastern Europe, including 70 bishops, were among the crowd, which packed grandstands and a rain-slicked, fog-shrouded square.
In his homily, Benedict said the Catholic faith condemns the notion that there is no absolute truth.
This resignation in front of the truth is the essence of the crisis in Western Europe, the pope said.
Although there have been no visions of Mary at Mariazell, it has drawn millions of pilgrims over the centuries, and Benedict said this year's 850th anniversary of its founding was the reason for my coming.
Security was heavy for the pope's visit, with more than 3,500 police officers and soldiers deployed to protect him.
Pilgrims in disposable plastic raincoats waved umbrellas and cheered as the popemobile made its way through Mariazell's cobblestone streets and Benedict emerged, wading through the crowd to take his place before an outdoor altar.
Sebastian Otschinzki, who shook hands with the pope after the mass, spoke to AP Television in a state of excitement:
I was completely out of myself, I could not say anything. I totally ran out of words, Otschinzki said.
Another pilgrim, Manfred Plank, described the occasion as the climax of my life as a Catholic so far.
Benedict began his trip by condemning abortion.
The pope expanded on that theme on Saturday.
