The Velvet Revolution of November 1989 ended the ban on religious orders, and the Brothers Consolers returned to Marianka, where they still are. Restoration began on buildings that for forty years had had no owner able to look after them properly. The change is easy to underrate: at a place like this, what 1989 brought was not some new thing built, but an ordinary activity — walking to a shrine — that simply stopped being a political act.Nežná revolúcia v novembri 1989 skončila zákaz reholí a bratia tešitelia sa do Marianky vrátili; sú tu dodnes. Začala sa obnova budov, o ktoré sa štyridsať rokov nemal kto poriadne starať. Zmenu je ľahké podceniť: na takomto mieste rok 1989 nepriniesol nejakú novú stavbu, ale to, že celkom obyčajná vec — cesta k svätyni — prestala byť politickým gestom.
