Marian Shrines

Bangle

Does anyone know where I can find Marian Shrines around Dublin? The kind you find in Knock? Working on a photography project and only know of a couple. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Theres one up near the fourcourts,on the same side of the road.It has a big boulder beside it.
There's one in the meath st area as far as i know,and one in the centre of o'connel st,near the spire.

Nevyn

There is a large on in the grounds of the church of the precious blood cabra west D7.

And in the Church in Finglas Village,on Church Street.

There's one in Stillorgan opposite the Shopping Centre, near the 46A stop. Part of Patrician Villas I suppose, the small part separated by the dual carriageway.

A lot of council estates built before the 1970s seem to have them. I noticed one around Harolds Cross cottages as well recently.

There's one in Pimlico in the Coombe, D7

Patrician Villas, My Mam used to live there

OP, there's one in Dodsboro (or doddsborough if you look at some road signs) in Lucan, near the 25 bus terminus. I remember being dragged there for Novenas as a child, by my mother...

Is that statue outside the bus depot in phibsboro one?

IIRC, there is a Marian statue with a bench in front of it on the corner of Templeogue Road and Springfield Avenue.

Monsktown Farm has one I think.
With the forthcoming eucharistic congress I see no reason why they can't be put into newer Dublin estates.

For the very simple reason that not everyone who moves into the estates is going to be Catholic. And even those who are Catholic may not actually be practising. It's intrusive and unnecessary tbh.

We're a Catholic Country so we should should be allowed put up new shrines for the next congress.
Would rather see these things appearing around the city than those stupid modern art sculptures which are more offensive regardless of religion.

If it means so much to you why don't you raise the funds and apply for planning permission?

Actually if Catholic residents want to erect and maintain them on their own property (even in a front garden with public access): fair enough. I'm fcuked if a cent of taxpayers money should go towards erecting them on public property though.

Most shrines were erected in the Marian year of 1954 and would have been funded throught voluntary subscriptions. I doubt very much that taxpayers money was used although I presume that those erected in public owed property were done with permission of the local authority.

There is a statue of Our Lady in the middle of the roundabout outside the church of Our Lady of the Assumption on the Kylemore rd in Ballyfermot.
there is also a very old grotto to Our Lady of lourdes at the back of the Oblates Church in Inchicore

There's one just off the North Circular Road beside the Junction with Dorset St.

Wishbone Ash

There's one at the rear of the Bon Secours Hospital in Glasnevin (which is used as a smoking area ).

The one in the centre of O'Connell Street (funded by the Dublin taxi drivers) is a 'Sacred Heart' not a Virgin Mary. (Unless of course there is another that I've forgotten about!).

Is that also not a 'Sacred Heart'? (Perhaps I'm thinking of the one at the junction of Gray Street and Reginald Street).

Sundew

Wishbone's previous post just reminded me that there is also a grotto at Our Lady's hospice in Harold's Cross.

Degsy

Dunno if it counts but there's a HUGE statue of Our Lady at the end of the Bull wall.
Its set on concret legs maybe 60 feet high and illuminated with spotlights at night.Used to fish there as a lad.
