Description
It was a cold and snowy winter day that we visited Holy Hill Basilica, also know n as the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians. This site is a Roman Catholic shrine dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The centerpiece of the shrine is a minor basilica. It is located in the town of Erin, near Hubertus, Wisconsin, in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The shrine has approximately 300,000 visitors per year. It sits atop a high hill at 1350 feet above seal level and is therefore one of the highest points in southeastern Wisconsin. The shrine was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. On July 16, 2006, a Mass was held celebrating 100 years of Carmelite stewardship at the site. During that Mass it was announced that Pope Benedict XVI had named Holy Hill a minor basilica. Holy Hill was dedicated as a minor basilica by Archbishop Timothy Dolan dedicated on November 19, 2006. There are fewer than 60 minor basilicas in the United States. The only major basilicas are all located in Rome.

Wonderful perspective! I love the title you gave this photograph "Above it All" -- it reminds me of the reason behind the towering architecture they use for many churches! Lovely image!

thank you Karen! I had great snow that year, not too much that I was afraid to drive but enough to make for pretty scenery, and it arrived just as I did so it was nice and white.

You were so fortunate to have visited after a snow that stuck to the tree branches! We have had extremely frigid temps this winter but only a little snow, none of which 'stuck' . Love Holy Hill and this photo!
