Our Lady of Cardigan
Our Lady of Cardigan, Catholic national shrine in Cardigan, Wales.
Our Lady of Cardigan is a Catholic shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary located in Wales. The bronze statue stands inside a chapel, showing Mary holding a candle in her hand.
The original medieval statue was destroyed during the Reformation in the 16th century. The current bronze figure was created in the 1980s and has stood at the site since then.
Visitors come to light candles and say prayers at this site, making it a place where people express their faith. The shrine draws pilgrims seeking spiritual connection in a quiet setting.
The shrine is located on North Road in Cardigan and welcomes visitors throughout the year. Regular Sunday services are held, allowing people to plan their visits around scheduled worship times.
The statue was temporarily displayed at Westminster Cathedral in 2010, where a high-ranking religious leader lit a candle on it. This event brought international attention to the shrine and connected it to a significant moment in Catholic history.
