Holy Hill Basilica #6

Last image in a series of six on this landmark church.

 

I decided to end the series with an artistic rendering and then present it with a classic white frame.

 

I hope you've enjoyed viewing these Autumn Basilica images as much as I enjoyed capturing them.

I plan on another trip to the church sometime in the future, where I will focus on the church itself, both its exterior and interior.

 

 

From Wikipedia:

"The Basilica and National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians at the Holy Hill is a Roman Catholic Marian shrine in Erin, Wisconsin, United States, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the venerated title Help of Christians.[2] The land and the shrine serves as a religious pilgrimage and attracts approximately 300,000 visitors each year.

 

Pope Benedict XVI raised the shrine to the status of Minor Basilica via Pontifical Decree on 11 July 2006."

 

Work was started on the Basilica in 1926 and it was completed in 1931.
