I live rather close to the National Shrine Grotto of Lourdes at Mount Saint Mary's University in Emmitsburg, MD and noticed the other day that they are planning on adding a series of mosaics depicting the Mysteries of Light of the Rosary. They currently have a beautiful outdoor Rosary Walk with mosaics for each of the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious mysteries. The Grotto is a very powerful and peaceful place to visit and spend time with the Lord.
If you are ever in the area of the east coast of the U.S. it is worth spending some time there. If your are interested in donating toward the building of these new mosaics, send your donations payable to The Grotto of Lourdes to:
National Shrine Grotto of Lourdes,
Mount Saint Mary's University,
Emmitsburg , MD 21727
Their website says that
While a special plaque will honor those donors who give $250 or more, please know that gifts at all levels will be most appreciated.

That sounds so beautiful to walk there and pray. I don't live near there, but I would love to visit.
Thank you for pointing this out. Living only a stones throw from the Grotto myself, this is a great way to become involved!
With peace and love,
Charley

I'm really looking forward to seeing them complete--God willing. It is such a strong spiritual place.
If memory serves me, I think its a metal of Christ of some sort. I think He is shown with the crown of thornes...I'll have to double check next time I'm there.
