Bern
Écône
Zurich
Geneva
Answer
Écône, a picturesque Swiss village in the canton of Valais, holds significance as the birthplace of the Society of Saint Pius X, founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Established in 1970, this traditionalist Catholic organization sought to preserve the Tridentine Mass and uphold the pre-Vatican II liturgical practices and teachings. Écône remains a crucial center for the society, hosting its international seminary and serving as a bastion of conservative Catholicism.
