The Schoenstatt Shrine in Madurai was consecrated on 30st December 2000.
The word “Shrine”(Latin scrinium, ‘chest’) originally applied to reliquaries came also to be applied to sacred images or places of pilgrimage, often with a small structure to shelter the sacred image. The original or mother shrine of Schoenstatt is in this latter tradition. What makes it unique is its covenant spirituality with the Blessed Mother. Today it is a small, intimate, sacred space with the holy picture of the Mother Thrice Admirable of Schoenstatt (mother of the redeemer, mother of the faithful and mother of the church), with a beautiful carved wooden altar, beautiful wooden pews, statues, stained glass windows, and a variety of beautiful sacred symbols each filled with rich meaning important to the Movement’s history and spirituality. The three spiritual graces associated with the Shrine are: 1) A Spiritual Home, 2) Inner Spiritual Transformation, and 3) Apostolic Fruitfulness.
Thousands of pilgrims obtain the graces of mother from this shrine. There are various events happening around the shrine.
