Cathedral. #L#
After the mass, the congregation set out across the main city
square for the Saint Mark square, where Stone Gate is located.
The ceremony at Stone Gate was again conducted by Msgr Giulio
Einaiudi, who was assisted by the auxiliary bishop of Zagreb, Juraj
Jezerinac, who recalled that on this day, 265 yeras ago, a fire
broke out on the place of Stone Gate. A picture with the image of
Holy Virgin remained untouched by the fire. That was why 'Mary
became our sanctuary, it is in her that we confide all our worries
and hopes and that is why we chose her for our patron saint',
Jezerinac said.
