Miracle Of The Lilies At Kaskaskia

The procession of women prepared to present lilies to the statue of Mary during an annual service Saturday at the Immaculate Conception Church in Kaskaskia, Illinois. The ceremony re-enacts the presentation of lilies miraculously found during the winter by a poor Native American woman who had no other gifts to give to Mary. (Photo by TOBY CARRIG/Herald staff)
