South Circular Road, Limerick

It says Saint Philomena's School, (well, it says St. Philomena's Sch., but I'm making assumptions) but that's clearly herself there in the alcove.




We hesitate to suggest a lick of paint, for fear of the Maynooth treatment.

Durrow, Co. Laois

This shrine is located at St Fintan's Boys' National School on Carrigan Street in Durrow.  Technically, this is the Holy Family, rather than a Marian shrine.  But we won't quibble, will we?


"Mary, Jesus, Joseph
Holy Family"


More peeling paint.


Taking pictures through glass is hard, but the white streak on the left actually seems to be fake snow.

Avondale House, Cumberland Street, Dublin 1

Sometimes, you go looking for a Marian Shrine and you find a statue of the Sacred Heart. Sometimes, you find Saint Joseph. Saturdays are for these statues and shrines.


Saint Joseph carrying the baby Jesus, and one of his attributes, lilies.


I would like very much to take a brush to that peeling paintwork.
