Lady Chapel

The Lady Chapel is the focal point of the Basilica, being the shrine to Our Lady of Pilar.

This is almost a building within a building.

The marble pillar that supports the Virgin, a tiny wooden image encrusted in silver is located in the bright area to the right. (Alas, it's overexposed, so there's no detail). The image has a mantle which is changed daily.

Mass

We celebrated Mass in St. Anthony's Chapel.

May reads the First Reading.
