Our Lady of the Highway Shrine
The statue of Our Lady of the Highway, carved from Carrara marble, was a gift to the Shrine in 1957 from Mr. and Mrs. Leo Kuhlman of Kentucky. It was originally placed in the center of the front yard near the highway but was later moved to the lower grounds of the Shrine. Today, the statue stands in the wooded lower grounds near the seating area. She has been the patroness of millions of travelers and pilgrims who visit Cross in the Woods.

O God, who with unspeakable providence does rule and govern the world, grant unto us, your servants, through the intercessions of our watchful mother, to be protected from all danger and brought safely to the end of our journey. Amen.
