This photo shows the front of the Basilica of St. Anne de Beaupre located about 25 miles from Quebec along the Saint Lawrence River. According to legend, some French sailors caught in a storm on the river vowed to erect a chapel wherever they were permitted to land. They landed at what is now the village of St. Anne de Beaupre and erected a wooden chapel in honor of St. Anne, the mother of the Blessed Virgin, in 1658. During the chapel's construction one of the workers was cured of lumbago. Since that time, the site has been a location of many cures. A larger chapel was built in 1661, and it was replaced by a stone church built in 1676. Due to the number of pilgrims visiting the shrine each year, a larger church was built in 1876, but it was destroyed by fire in 1922. The present large basilica was completed in 1934 and, in a side chapel, contains a relic of St. Anne. In addition to its size, the basilica is noteworthy for its 214 stained glass windows, completed in 1949.
