Svetište Majke Božje Bistričke jedno od najpopularnijih i najposjećenijih marijanskih svetišta u Hrvatskoj. To je hrvatsko nacionalno svetište. Nalazi se u Mariji Bistrici.
Kip Majke Božje Bistričke potječe iz 15. stoljeća i bio je u crkvi na Vinskom Vrhu. Zbog opasnosti od Turaka, Gospin kip premješten je u župnu crkvu u Mariji Bistrici, a 1650. zazidan u jedan prozor. Nastojanjem zagrebačkog biskupa Martina Borkovića kip je pronađen 1684. i stavljen na počasno mjesto. Od tada počinju brojna hodočašća.
Hrvatski je sabor 1715. darovao glavni oltar na čast Bistričke Gospe, 1715. Papa Benedikt XIV. podijelio je oproste hodočasnicima koji se ispovijede i pričeste. Požar je 1880. oštetio čitavu crkvu osim glavnog oltara s kipom Majke Božje Bistričke koji je ostao posve neoštećen. Arhitekt Hermann Bolle obnovio je i proširio crkvu te izgradio cintor oko svetišta. Papa Pio XI. proglasio je crkvu Majke Božje Bistričke manjom bazilikom (basilica minor). Zagrebački nadbiskup dr. Antun Bauer okrunio je 1935. čudotvorni kip Marije i Malog Isusa zlatnim krunama i proglasio Mariju kraljicom Hrvata. Govornik je tada bio nadbiskup koadjutor dr. Alojzije Stepinac. Biskupska konferencija proglasila je 1971. bistričko svetište Nacionalnim prošteništem čitavog hrvatskog naroda. Godine 1984. u Mariji Bistrici je održan Nacionalni euharistijski kongres.
Slike u cintoru naslikao je Ferdo Quiqerez, a obnovio ih akademski slikar Vladimir Pavlek od 1982. do 1984. Papa Ivan Pavao II. proglasio je kardinala Alojzija Stepinca blaženim 3. listopada 1998. u Mariji Bistrici, kada je svetište za tu prigodu posebno uređeno i dograđeno.
Zagrebački nadbiskup Josip Bozanić otvorio je Karmel Majke Božje Bistričke i bl. Alojzija Stepinca te posvetio samostansku crkvu 12. veljače 2000. U godini Velikog jubileja 2000. odlukom Josipa Bozanića bazilika Majke Božje Bistričke postala je jedna od četiri oprostne crkve. Kardinal Joseph Ratzinger, tada pročelnik Kongregacije za nauk vjere (kasnije papa Benedikt XVI.) posjetio je Mariju Bistricu 8. studenog 2001. godine.

Marija Bistrica is an old Marian shrine of the Black Madonna which is a place of pilgrimage and visited by hundreds of thousands of pilgrims every year. On 3 October 1998, Pope John Paul II visited Marija Bistrica and beatified Croatian Cardinal Aloysius Stepinac in front of a crowd of 500,000 Croatians.
n 1545 a local priest hid the wonder working statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary with the Infant Jesus, which previously stood in a wooden chapel on the Vinski Vrh (Hill) nearby, within the church to save it from the Turks and took the secret of its hiding place to his grave. The statue was discovered in 1588, when according to the records bright light shone from the place where it was buried. In 1650 the statue had to be once again hidden to be rediscovered in 1684.
In 1710 the Croatian parliament vowed to fund a new altar in the church, which was done in 1715. In 1731 the church was expanded and reconsecrated to Our Lady of the Snows. In 1750 Pope Benedict XIV granted plenary indulgence to pilgrims who confess and accept the Eucharist in Bistrica.
In 1879 to 1882 a new church was built in its place, designed in the style of Neo-Renaissance by Hermann Bollé. Arcades were constructed around the church decorated with 22 paintings of the miracles granted by the Blessed Virgin. During the construction a fire destroyed all of the church except the statue and the main altar.
In 1923 Pope Pius XI granted the church the status of a minor basilica and in 1935 the archbishop of Zagreb Ante Bauer crowned the statue as Our Lady Queen of Croatia. As archbishop, Aloysius Stepinac paid special attention to the site and made annual pilgrimages. On July 8, 1945 he led his last pilgrimage to Marija Bistrica which drew 40,000-50,000 people.
