Přibyslavice
Přibyslavice is a municipality and village in Třebíč District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 800 inhabitants.
The church there played a significant role in the surrounding towns. It was not only a large church, but it served as the location for most of the baptisms for our Zimola, Fila, Hudeček, Kaurek, Vybíral, Jírovský and Rambausek families and probably many more.
The Saint Anne Church in Pribyslavice was built in the 13th Century. The picture of the Virgin Mary was painted on the plaster of the
south-eastern outer wall sometime in the 16th century. While other parts of the church’s exterior needed restoration after several
centuries of weathering, the picture of the Virgin Mary remained undamaged. Of course, it was considered a miracle. In 1724, a shelter
was built in the chapel to house this memorable portrait.
This chapel, called the “Virgin Mary’s Church,” is now a destination for pilgrims. During our visit, the priest allowed us to see the original fresco, usually covered by a door with a replica painting.
