 Above the Shrine altar is a statue of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. The marble from which it has been sculptured is what is known as "first quality" statuary marble (Carrara marble). It is so rare and so expensive that seldom is it used by artists. However, the exceptional quality of its effects are impossible to attainment with other marbles no matter how fine. Truly has the sculptor of the Shrine statue brought out, in a wonderful manner, the beauty and the purity looked for in Her whom it represents.
