Maria zum Guten Rat

297 hits for "Maria zum Guten Rat", none for "Rathe" ...

There are, however, 9 Google hits for "Maria VOM Guten Rathe", which must be the old spelling of Rat.

By the way, (as far as I can see), not one English website mentioning the chapel "Maria zum Guten Rat" adds any English translation of the name. Although it would certainly be useful for the reader, I just thought I'd point that out.

Kim, why don't you propose your answer? (And maybe "our lady of good counsel" in parentheses? http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11361a.htm) I don't won't to gather your points...

Maria zum Guten Rathe
