Church of Saint Mary of Help, Pilgrimage church in Zlaté Hory, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Mary of Help stands on the eastern slope of the forested Příčný vrch, about three kilometers south of Zlaté Hory. The present building, consecrated in 1995, replaced the earlier church destroyed in 1973. A Stations of the Cross with two-meter stone pyramids leads up from the road and parking area below.

The original church was demolished in 1973 during the communist era, but reconstruction began in the early 1990s. A new cornerstone was blessed by Pope John Paul II in 1990, and the rebuilt structure reopened to the public in 1995.

Masses at the site are celebrated in Czech, German and Polish, and the most visited is the September pilgrimage of three nations, drawing pilgrims and priests from the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland. The season closes with a mass for persecuted political prisoners, and a night Way of the Cross is held regularly, a tradition dating from the communist era when daytime processions were banned.

A Way of the Cross leads up to the church from the road and car park below the slope. The spring beside the church is considered miraculous or healing, and the chapel over it is the only surviving original structure of the pre-1973 site. A crucifix assembled from crosses destroyed between 1956 and 1973 stands as another remnant.

The chapel over the spring below the church is the only structure left from the original pilgrimage complex destroyed by the communist authorities. Near it stands a crucifix assembled from the remains of crosses destroyed between 1956 and 1973.
