Dedication of the Nordic countries to the Virgin Mary

In connection with the Bishops' Conference in Lund on 18. - 20. March, the Nordic Bishops will dedicate our Nordic countries to the Immaculate - the Most Pure Heart - of Mary. This will be a renewal of the dedication carried out by Pope John Paul II when he visited the Nordic countries 25 years ago.
