The Sorrowful Mother Shrine is a place I enjoy going to whenever I can. One of my earliest memories with my grandmother was at this Shrine with her lighting a candle in one of the grottos. So for me, this time of year when I think of lights I think of those candle lights and the prayers and hopes that each one represents...

Very cool that you have a place that takes you back like that!
That looks pretty neat with the colored candles and all. What a great thing for you (to remember)....
Thanks guppyman and tnchick, holidays make me overly sentimental at times but I am very lucky to have some awesome memories.
:-)
That is a beautiful picture, the candles look great.
Mine is up too....
memories are so cool...especially fond ones of loved ones :)
beautiful picture.
Wow...what great memories you've shared of special times with your grandma. Those are the best, aren't they?
Thanks so much for sharing!
That's fantastic! I would love to have a place like that. I usually go in the Chapels at the hospitals and light a candle for the sick. That's really great that you can go there.
Thanks for stopping by.
So often our everyday lives go on and on with grocery shopping, cleaning, working and doing it all over again and again. We need December to break the cycle and though it seems the busiest time of the year, we should step back, look at life and the world a little differently. This is a great picture to help us do that and a wonderful memory; thanks for sharing.
It's wonderful that you're carrying on the tradition!
Love the colored candles.
thanks for stopping by.
Lovely photo. Wonderful memory of your grandmother. Seeing candles lit in prayer is always touching.
Have a good weekend.
So beautiful. I am not Catholic, but I have also found that the candles in the churches representing prayers is a beautiful and reasuring tradition. I even like the smell of the candles and the lighting in these old churches.
Lovely, hope all their prayers are answered.
What a wonderful way to remember your grandmother...
Hi Lisa Renee, thank you for that, reading your post made me remember my grandmother.... when I was very young, she also would bring me to church. Cheers!
I can see why it is a special place, so beautiful.
It looks very peaceful.
Mine's up :)
