Also see . . . Chapel of Notre-Dame de Echternach (Religiana). Excerpt:
The renewal of the Catholic Church after the Council of Trent (1545-1563) resulted in the revival or creation of numerous small pilgrimages, in particular in honour of the Virgin Mary. Thus in 1654 the priest Petrus Fisch built a Marian chapel at the town gates. In a perspective-effect niche behind the main altar, a Pièta reflects the many sufferings that the population underwent in the 17th century. The veneration of the Passion and the Guardian Angel, portrayed in a number of significant works of art, was also widespread in this era.(Submitted on October 24, 2026.)
