Marian Shrine - Towering Rosary Madonna
We visited the Shrine today, and the light made the lovely statue seem kinda Grim Reaper-ish. We enjoyed our quiet, reflective time there by the fountain.
[Annie, 05/30/2022]Catholic shrine of immense proportions (gigantic statue of Mary). The site is maintained by the Salesians, and is an active retreat site and shrine (in other words, people are there for serious reasons, so be respectful). I think it is noteworthy here because the statue is truly mind-boggling, especially tucked away in this little suburban spot so close to New York City. Its presence seems improbable, which is much of its charm.
Also worth seeing is the reconstructed Don Bosco residence. I am not Catholic, or even Christian, but I passed the sign and knew I had to go see it. And I was not disappointed. It is viewable from the car if you drive in far enough.
