THE NATIONAL SHRINE OF THE
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
Washington, D.C.
This Shrine, the largest Catholic Church in the
United States is a tribute of American Catholics to
Our Blessed Mother as Patroness of the country.
In The Upper Church can be seen the Main Altar
under the baldachin or canopy which rises majes-
tically overhead to a height of over 46 feet. Be-
yond this on the north apse wall in gleaming red
and gold mosaic we see in mighty proportions
Christ the Lord of the Universe. The Shrine is open
to visitors 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
