Auriesville, NY (USA): Shrine


I bought this card knowing nothing about the facility depicted. Only upon doing some research did I learn that what is depicted is a four-sided altar area, but no organ! What are actually large wood columns (tree trunks) looked to me like they could have been organ pipes. Sadly they are not. This site has a pretty good collection of photos of the shrine, but no organ again. The shrine's site again shows the altar area, making it clear this is no organ, but does not show a picture of any organ at the facility. The shrine was built in 1885 and is dedicated in memory of Catholic martyrs in North America.
