Wandering Virgin – or Wandering Madonna – refers to the practice among certain devout Catholics<br />
whereby statues of the Virgin Mary, thought to have healing powers, are carried from home to home.<br />
The Legion of Mary in particular has embraced this form of adoration of the Virgin. Of the some 4,000 (!)<br />
such statues in Austria, the Madonna Rosa Mystica is the most widely circulated. This 40-cm-tall statue<br />
was used for filming, with the consent of the Catholic Church.
