The Cross of our Lady of Guidance (former chapel)

The chapel and cross of Our Lady of Guidance were situated next to the Old Bridge, at the entrance to the city on the road which came from Montserrat. As the patron saint of messengers, devotees would pray there before going on their journey. According to tradition, on reaching Manresa, the pilgrim had an apparition of the Virgin Mary who encouraged him to continue his penance. During his stay, the cross was one of the places of worship which the future saint would visit the most.
