Pálosszentkút Shrine

Nice, quiet, peaceful place. It is worth relaxing here, meditating. It is free to visit. And the water of the holy well is a must! (washbasin available in the area) Legend has it that 1791 was written when a shepherd, grazing his flock at night, came across an unknown spring, in the water of which he saw the figure of the Virgin Mary shining with great light. The news spread quickly in the area and many came to the well to see the miracle and took it home from their water to their sick. Tradition has explained the event by the fact that at that time the priest of the village hid the Sacrament of the Altar from the invading Turkish troops in the fountain in front of the church so that it would not be desecrated by the Turks. In the late 1700s, says another wonderful story, a lame beggar came to the Holy Well. He drank from the water, washed himself, and was healed: his feet regained their strength. He stabbed his crutches into the ground next to the spring, and they sprouted and spread out into a large tree. The trees were later shattered by the farewells. As a result of the popular pilgrimages, the Kiskunfélegyháza City Council erected a stone cross on the site, but in 1793 the episcopal authority of Vác banned pilgrimages. As a result, the city ordered the filling of the source. A farm man, on whose land the fresh sowing was often carried by the farewells, filled the waterway with manure. But that scattered the dirt, and it burst with even greater force. This was considered a heavenly rebuke, and after that no one dared to reach the source. They were fenced off and a protective roof was pulled over it. And pilgrims came, especially on Pentecost and Miss Day, to the "Our Lady of Szentkút."

An oasis of silence, tranquility, peace, dear Pauline fathers

I have many memories of the shrine. Beautiful buildings, tidy park, forest, birds, silence and harmony during my everyday walks.

Very peaceful, intimate place.

The church had a relaxed atmosphere, the whole place was so quiet and the surroundings were beautiful.

In the winter, on a snowy day, we were here, we were alone, so it was very cozy. (We wouldn't have thought in our dreams that the renovated restroom was open and heated ...)
