Last week the statue of Our Lady of Walsingham was taken to Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire.
The visit was part of the 950th anniversary of a vision of the Virgin Mary in the village of Walsingham.
The statue was carried from the Sacred Heart Church to Berkhamsted School Chapel, accompanied by both Anglican and Catholic worshippers.
The Statue of Our Lady Mary is one of the most powerful religious symbols from the Medieval world.
The Walsingham shrine followed a vision granted to Saxon noblewoman Richeldis de Faverches in a dream.
In it, the Virgin Mary showed Richeldis the house in Nazereth where Gabriel had announced the news of the birth of Jesus and asked her to build a replica.
