Mirinae Holy Site

Location reported by institutional sources

Korea Tourism Organization records Mirinae as Andrew Kim’s burial site, alongside his mother Ursula, Bishop Ferréol, and Vincentius Lee Minsik, who buried him.

What does the source establish?

KTO identifies Andrew’s grave at Mirinae and records his burial after execution. This identifies a burial site without claiming that every relic fragment is now here. KTO lists the custodian, www.mirinai.or.kr, for visit confirmation.

Why is it called Mirinae?

Mirinae means the Milky Way in Korean. The complex includes a memorial church, statue and garden. A place can preserve several layers of memory: a nineteenth-century burial and pilgrim facilities developed much later.
