take it, leave it, share it

What is a tiny shrine?

A shrine is a place of Catholic devotion and prayer often dedicated to saint. A tiny shrine is pocket-sized version of the real thing. Inspired by the street shrines of Italy - a tiny shrine can be placed anywhere: on a window sill, in a planter box, on a mailbox, in a tree, along a walking path, in your purse.

How do you make a tiny shrine?

There is no correct way to make a tiny shrine. Resin is an ideal medium as it is weatherproof and versatile. You can use a variety of "containers"; shells, mint tins, jar lids, or silicon molds. A tiny shrine is a great way to recycle old holy cards, Magnificats, broken jewelry, sea shells etc. At some point, this site may host some Youtube video tutorials.
