Marian shrine

A Marian shrine is a special place that is dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus. It is a place where people go to show their love and devotion to Mary by praying, lighting candles, and leaving offerings like flowers. Some Marian shrines are very big and popular, like the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, where millions of people visit each year. Other shrines may be smaller and located in people's homes or local churches. In these special places, people feel a sense of peace and comfort as they connect with Mary and ask her for her guidance and protection.
