You could spend days here and still not see everything this Basilica has to offer. The mosaics are stunning, and each Chapel invites you to contemplate Mary and her Divine Son in new and equally powerful ways. I've been here for large (March for Life Vigil) and small (daily) Masses. You really get to see the universality of the Catholic Church here, so many different groups of people. A must see. If you like religious goods, they have the best gift shops (yes - two).
