In a short period of time he rebuilt the church and the parish house, obtained new indulgences from Rome, and thus the pilgrimages were resumed in 1946. During the following year more than 40,000 pilgrims came to Klokochovo to venerate the Blessed Mother in the place where, in 1670, she shed her bitter tears in sympathy with the sufferings of our people. In order to enhance the public veneration of the Weeping Icon, Father Chekan had the icon crowned in 1948. The solemn coronation of the icon was performed by the Auxiliary Bishop of Prjashev. This was the last pilgrimage, since the following year the pilgrimage was forbidden by the Communist authorities.
Nobody can tell.
Some research was made in the imperial palaces in Vienna, especially in the apartments of Maria Theresa, but the icon could not be found. Probably, after the fall of the Austrian empire, some devoted member of the imperial family has taken it as a precious family remembrance. Perhaps, the Blessed Mother will honor us with another miracle and reveal to us the whereabouts of her weeping icon of Klokochovo. In connection with the miraculous icon of Klokochovo it should be mentioned that in 1885, in the village of Kamionka, Spish district, an old handwritten Song Book from 1724 was discovered. The present church in Klokochovo, dedicated to the Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God, was built in 1834.
