Catholic shrine
Marian apparition site
A Catholic shrine is a sacred place dedicated to a particular saint, apparition of the Virgin Mary, or religious relic.
Shrines range from modest roadside grottos to elaborate basilicas that draw millions of pilgrims: the shrine at Lourdes, a shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Catholics visit shrines to pray, seek healing, or fulfill vows.
The term also applies to smaller devotional displays in homes or churches.
