This shrine is over about 100 acres in the Mississippi River Valley and holds a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The shrine holds statues, gardens, and even devotional areas. The shrine is a dedication after the story of St. Juan Diego when Mary appeared to Juan Diego who was a present at the time. He told her to tell the bishop to build a shrine. He went and told this bishop who did not believe him until he brought a tilma full of fresh flowers that were out of season to the bishop.  When Juan went to show his tilma to the bishop he let the flowers fall on the bishops feet and an image of Mary was imprinted on the Tilma.
