In 1814, Leopold Layer painted an image of Mary Help of Christians at Brezje (known in Slovene as Marija Pomagaj) in thanksgiving for his deliverance from a Napoleonic jail. The miraculous image of Mary is a patron of Slovenian nation.
The Basilica of Mary Help of Christians at Brezje is a Slovenian National Marian Shrine. Whenever Slovenians found themselves in times of hardship Mary was there to help and save them, and bring them fresh hope.
