St Anne de Beaupre
A Basilica situated outside of Quebec City. Since the mid 1600s this local village has been a pilgrimage site for Christians. Over the centuries the Basilica has been rebuilt, except for the wooden, gold leaf statue featured here. It has survived the many years of service to the Christian faith, including fire which destroyed the previous structure. On display is also a bone fagment of St Anne, encased in a gold arm-like skeleton.
