EDSA Shrine, Catholic shrine at EDSA and Ortigas Avenue intersection, Quezon City, Philippines

The religious structure combines modern architecture with elements of traditional Filipino design, including a prominent sculpture of the Virgin Mary.

Cardinal Jaime Sin initiated the shrine's construction in 1989 to commemorate the 1986 People Power Revolution that led to President Marcos's departure.

The National Commission for Culture and the Arts designated the shrine as an Important Cultural Property in 2019 for its role in Filipino history.

The shrine remains open twenty-four hours daily, offering religious services and serving as a gathering place for public demonstrations.

Two separate peaceful revolutions that changed Philippine leadership occurred at this location, in 1986 and 2001.
