This shrine was erected in 1959. The Carrara Marble Statue of Our Lady of Lourdes from Italy is inscribed "Mary, Loving Mother of Jesus, Protect us on the Highway". This shrine was placed here, in Waggoner, Illinois, to give travelers a chance to pray for a safe trip. A blog about our road trips on Route 66, Lincoln Highway, St. Louis, New York, Michigan, etc. (we have been to 37 States, 13 more to visit), about my love of hockey (NHL), football (NFL), coming to America, growing up in Viet Nam, humor that ain't funny and still a lot of ramblings!
