Mirinae Holy Ground, located about 40 ri north of Anseong in Gyeonggi-do, is named after the beautiful Korean word for the Milky Way. It holds the tomb of Korea's first priest, Father Kim Dae-geon, alongside those of his mother Ursula, Bishop Ferréol (the 3rd bishop of the Joseon Diocese who ordained Father Kim), and Lee Min-sik Vincenzo, who interred Father Kim's body here. The name Mirinae came from Catholic believers who fled here during the Shin-yu and Gi-hae persecutions, forming a faithful village where, at night, lights from houses reflected in the stream under the moonlight appeared like the Milky Way. Originally, Mirinae was part of the initial Catholic mission areas including Gwangju, Siheung, Yongin, Yangpyeong, Hwaseong, and Anseong. When the parish was established in 1896, 50 years after Father Kim's burial, there were about 1,600 believers here. Father Kim, martyred at 26, was denied a funeral by the authorities; after 40 days, Lee Min-sik Vincenzo carefully rescued his body and carried it for a week to Mirinae for burial. Official sanctification works began in 1972, and in 1989 the Great Sanctuary commemorating 103 saints was completed. Upon entering, the central memorial cathedral dedicated to the 103 Catholic saints is first visible. Behind the cathedral, the Stations of the Cross path features 15 bronze sculptures depicting Jesus' capture by Roman soldiers, crucifixion, death, and burial. Visiting the Mirinae Cathedral (housing Father Kim's tomb and mandible), the statue of Father Kim, the Virgin Mary Cathedral, and the Gethsemane Hill (a hill made from natural rock) takes 2 to 3 hours.
