[edit]Kevelaer is a city located in the Cleves district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is known as one of the largest pilgrimage sites in Northwestern Europe. Each year, over a million Christian pilgrims from Germany and the Netherlands visit this place to see the Virgin Mary at the Grace Church.
