Three hundred years have now passed since the miraculous image of the Trakai Mother of God, Protectress of Lithuania, was adorned with papal crowns. The parliament of Lithuania declared 2018 the Year of the Trakai Mother of God, Protectress of Lithuania, to mark the 300-year jubilee of the coronation of the image.
\nIn September 2017, the Trakai church was raised to the status of a basilica, and celebration of the jubilee year began. The title of basilica recalls the church\u2019s historical significance as one of the very first churches built after the baptism of Lithuania in the 14th century. Lithuanian Grand Duke Vytautas funded the construction of the church. Devotion to the Trakai Mother of God began to spread in the 17th century amid wars and hardship in the Commonwealth of Lithuania and Poland. People would come here to pray before the image, which was renowned for special graces. Over the years it has served as a reminder of Vytautas\u2019s majestic rule and the flourishing of the nation, becoming a pilgrimage destination for the state\u2019s leaders, nobility, and ordinary to pray for peace and prosperity in Lithuania.
\nOn September 4, 1718, the Trakai Mother of God image was adorned with golden crowns sent by Pope Clement XI and received the title Health of the Sick. It was the first image of Mary in Lithuania to be crowned by the pope and only the second worldwide outside of Rome. People came to call her Protectress of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and later \u2013 Protectress of Lithuania. The coronation festivities lasted eight days, giving origin to the annual indulgence feast.
\nToday pilgrims come to Trakai from nearby places and all over Lithuania to celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lady. Hundreds of young people walk in pilgrimage each year from the chapel of the Gate of Dawn<\/a> in Vilnius to the Trakai Basilica<\/a> to pray before the image of the Mother of God, Protectress of Lithuania.<\/p>\n
