Features Prayer to the 14 Holy Helpers

Fourteen Holy Helpers - A group of saints invoked with special confidence because they have proven themselves efficacious helpers in adversity and difficulties, known and venerated under the name Fourteen Holy Helpers.According to the Legend, in the year 1445, a young shepherd, Herman Leicht, was given the opportunity to see a vision of a young child who shone like a light.
When he tried to approach it, the child disappeared.
he saw the child again but again it vanished.
On June 28, 1446, the child again appeared but this time was surrounded by fourteen other children, all in a circle of light like a halo.
Herman asked who the child was and what he wanted.
The child responded by saying, “We are the Fourteen Holy Helpers and wish a chapel built here for us.
Serve us and we will serve you.”After that time, people began to believe the young boy, prayers were offered and miracles occurred.
The next year a chapel was built, then a church, and then a basilica located near the town of Bad Staffelstein north of Bamberg, in Germany.
