A replica image of Our Lady of Czestochowa is currently traveling throughout Spain on a pro-life and pro-family pilgrimage that will span 12,000 miles and 23 countries.
Dubbed "From Ocean to Ocean," the tour began last September in Vladivostok on Russia's Pacific coast and will conclude at the Shrine of Fatima on the Atlantic coast of Portugal.
Organizers of the tour hope that "the number of people who discover and defend the dignity of the human being from conception to natural death will continuously increase."
The famous image of Mary, normally housed at the Jasna Gora Shrine in Poland, has been in Spain since Dec. 15, visiting more than 25 dioceses.
