Reports appeared during August and September 2006 of the discovery of healing springs in Switzerland.
A local newspaper in Heiligkreuz, near Lucerne, carried the story of a spring at the home of a group of Franciscan nuns in Ingenbohl. The water was found to have curative powers when an old, sick cat drank from the spring and was immediately healed. Since then, local nun and health consultant Pauline Felder has noticed astonishing benefits in people and animals who drink the water.
Local media also reported a healing spring at the Benedictine monastery at Einsiedeln, near Zurich. Long associated with miracle healings, the monastery has for centuries attracted pilgrims, who continue to visit its Black Madonna statue which is believed to have healing properties.
Two further healing springs were reported: a mountain spring in the Alps near Braunwald, eastern Switzerland; and a spring at Fleli-Rauft, in the canton of Obwalden, central Switzerland. This was the birthplace of Bruder Klaus, the 15th century hermit revered as the "father of Swiss neutrality".
