Montreal: North American Centre for Penance


This photo was taken in the 1940s of pilgrims making their customary way up the steps of the "Oratory" on their knees. Nowhere on the North American continent was there ever such a regular public display of penance by the faithful. Pray this will continue. Photo taken at Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa.
