On december the 18th 1976 the holy virgin appeared to Elisabeth Sleutjes
who lives in Berlicum (Holland).
After the appearance Elisabeth was healed from her paralizing illness.
This was the start of a serie of Apparitions in Berlicum.
At the time the Holy Virgin appeared to Eisabeth,
she gave some messages to Eisabeth.
As soon as people heard about her miraculus healing,
the first pilgrims came to Berlicum.

Where is Berlicum situated?

's Hertogenbosch in North Brabant (Netherlands).

Mary's Hofke

Mary's Hofke is the name of the place where the holy Virgin appeared.
It is situated in the village of Berlicum in the Toren street.
When you visit "Mary's Hofke" for the first time
it seem as if you enter a street with normal houses.
Striking are three white houses.
One of them has the name "Maria's Hofke"
But it isnt what it seems.
Behind a serie of white houses,
is a small garden with a lovely chapel.

As at many places where the Holy Virgin has appeared,
there is a well near the Chapel.
