The Serene Breath of Faith, Mirinae Holy Site

Mirinae Holy Site in Anseong Nestled deep within the tranquil mountains of Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, the Mirinae Holy Site is more than just a religious sanctuary. It is a place where the history of persecution and martyrdom in Korean Catholicism lives on. True to its name, which means 'a path of faith sparkling like the Milky Way,' walking along the serene forest trails clears the mind and brings a sense of calm. The site harmoniously combines features such as the Grotto of the Virgin Mary, a church, and pilgrimage paths, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll. The vintage brick structure of Mirinae Church, in particular, blends beautifully with the natural surroundings, creating a mystical atmosphere. Even non-believers can find themselves moved by the site’s tranquil ambiance. It’s a perfect destination for quiet reflection or a brief escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
