In England and Ireland the evidence that from the earliest period Christianity was strongly leavened with devotion to Mary is very great.
These shrines, which as time went on multiplied beyond calculation in every part of Europe, nearly always owed their celebrity to the temporal and spiritual favours which it was believed the Blessed Virgin granted to those who invoked her in these favoured spots.
