| Shrine to Mary in front of a humble home |
Working in a "barrio" community, I see many shrines dedicated to Mary in the front yards of the homes. Most of the shrines are up all year.
Sharing a virgin a day is a perfect chance for me to show them to you.
This one has recently added lights and candles for the season. One day last week, I watched as an elderly gentleman worked sprucing up this shrine.

It looks lovely. The red roses add such a burst of color.

ReplyDeletethis so touches my heart!
Hello Gemma!How have I missed all your awesome Mary posts? All are lovely and I really like your haiku.:-) Looking forward to more!
ReplyDeleteyou have given me an idea.. I have an outdoor statue of Mary.. I think I will make a Shrine in my front yard!
ReplyDeleteI think it is one of the more beautiful I have seen. The deep red flowers surrounding the virgin and the lovely statue of Guadalupe in the center. Such steadfast faith and unwavering love for her, even in difficult circumstances is, I am sure, honored deeply.
