Washington, DC (April 2011)

The Basilica (completed 1959) is adjacent to the campus of Catholic University and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Indeed, you will find an enormous variety of representations of Mary (in stone, bronze, glass, mosaic, etc.) in the numerous alcoves and chapels, including a Chinese Mary (Our Lady of China) and Vietnamese Mary (Our Lady of La Vang).
