There is a Virgin Mary shrine that sounds like ASSAGOURA or YASSAGURA when
pronounced. Can you
please tell me the real name, spelling and where it is located? It is
somewhere in Europe, I
think...

Thanks,

JB

Believe you are looking for a small village named Medjugorje in
Bosnia-Herzegovina. Check this site for some information.

Thank you for replying. This is the one I was seeking:
Czestochowa - Jasna Gora Sanctuary located in Poland

A book that may be helpful on this sort of thing is Euan Begg's
"The Cult of the Black Virgin". The speculative part of it is
dross like Dan Brown but it does have a good gazetteer of these
shrines.
