 | | The shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Walsingham in England | | | Roman Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Shinto are major religions that have places of worship that are frequently called shrines. | | | As distinguished from a temple, a shrine is usually located because it houses a particular relic or cult image which is the object of worship or veneration, or because it is constructed on a site which is thought to be particularly holy, as opposed to being placed for the convenience of worshippers. |

| | ipedia.com: Mary, the mother of Jesus Article |
| | Mary (Miriam in Hebrew, Mariam in Greek) is mentioned by name in three of the four Gospels, and the Book of Acts, although not by name in the Gospel of John. | | | That Mary remained a virgin after the birth of Jesus is a doctrinal stance of the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. | | | Mary, they point out, is not in herself divine, and has only such powers to help as are granted to her by God in response to her prayers. |

| | It is initiated with a novena (a nine day period of devotion) to the Virgin Mary that culminates in a celebration on December 7, the eve of the Catholic feast day of the Immaculate Conception. | | | Yet as well as the white virgin who bore the son of God, Mary was also the mother who raised Jesus and stood by him through his life and death, and consequently came to represent the ideal nurturer. | | | The Catholic Virgin is also the Mother..., but her principal attribute is not to watch over the fertility of the earth but to provide refuge for the unfortunate. |

| | Each shrine is a jewel, so to speak, in the heavenly crown of the Blessed Virgin Mary. | | | Still Marian Shrines of Italy fills the reader with hope that God in His Mercy through the intercession of the Madonna, and the faithful disciples of Christ, will send forth His Spirit to renew Catholic Italy and the entire world. | | | Just to note: the well-informed Catholic knows that the Mother and her Divine Son are closely united, consequently authentic Catholic devotion to the Blessed Mother always gives glory to God and leads the devout to a deeper, more intimate union with Jesus Christ. |

| | Ask Julie Masaoka, the shrines' creator, if she's religious and she falls silent, slowly working her way around to the word "spiritual." At first glance, Masaoka's colorful wall shrines are pure kitsch – but on closer examination, the anticipated irony dissolves into history. | | | Centered on different kinds of flea-market hubcaps, many from big rigs, the Virgin, in each, is surrounded by the kinds of tributes found in shrines worldwide: beads, artificial flowers, vivid ornaments. | | | In the sky above, the heads of John the Baptist and a rabbi whiz through the air on platters, avoiding collisions with the Virgin Mary, who sits serenely on a rocket, cradling the baby Jesus. |
