The Resurrection at Mother Cabrini's Shrine

1 of 10

The shrine's caretakers aren't done sprucing up. They're trying to raise $300,000 to repair the road a mission they're pimping with these sidewalk signs.

In May of 2007, a bolt of lightning struck the giant Jesus statue at Mother Cabrini's Shrine, no doubt making the nuns there think they'd pissed His Holiness off. Here, a look at the statue's careful resurrection. Photos and captions by Michael Roberts.
