In the parish church of Heppeneert near Maaseik, the Blessed Virgin Mary is worshiped under the title of Our Lady of Rest. This very old statue is a part of an oak passion table that was made in the early 16th century. It shows the Virgin in a resting position, her head bowed and her hands folded on her lap. Behind Mary is the apostle John, who looks up in contemplation. They are seated before the Crucified Jesus (not depicted in the statue). According to an old tradition, this statue washed ashore centuries ago, in the event of a flood through the Maas, in the village of Elen. A chapel was built in which the statue was placed for worship.
Heppen is a village in the Belgian province of Limburg and a part of Leopoldsburg. Heppen has an area of 9.57 km and in 2006 had 4264 inhabitants.
