Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré is a basilica in a bucolic setting by the Saint Lawrence River 30 km east of Quebec City in Quebec, Canada. It has an hexagonal entrance, surmounted by a huge pyramidal dome with divine lights always on.
It is an important Catholic sanctuary which receives about half a million pilgrims each year.
The wooded hillside next to it has a memorial chapel and a Way of the Cross, or Stations of the Cross. The present basilica is the third to be located on the site, having been built after two earlier structures were destroyed.
