Easter Tour of St. Therese Shrine

My annual trip to the St. Therese Shrine and Chapel brings comfort to my soul. The visit brings to mind Romans 10:9:

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou salt be saved.

The shrine is visited by people all over the world ad a place to seek peace of mind and reaffirm our purpose here on earth is to serve God and prepare us and our children for heaven.

The Shrine and Chapel are hidden behind trees on a small peninsula overlooking Pearl Harbor in the Lynn Canal.

The drive up the northern end of the Egan Highway is scenic with a grand view of the St. Elias Mountain Range and the Lynn Canal.

Scene from the northern end of Egan of the St. Elias Range.

A statue of Jesus Christ on the Crucifix stands tall facing the Chapel and the shrine.

The scene from the back of the crucifix is the Lynn Canal.

A rock formation similar to Stone hedges has been built between the peninsula and the retreat facilities at the Shrine.

Roots from trees grow into strange forms like this one that resembles a horse.

This statue is the newest addition to the shrine was erected in memory of all the victims of abortion.
