The Virgin in front of the house
I didn't grow up Catholic, but most of my friends did. You couldn't go a few blocks in my neighborhood without finding a statue of the Virgin Mary, or the saint of the family's devotion nicely perched in front of a house. It was a way for families to show their faith, and ask God for protection. And, who knows, maybe help keep the bugs off the roses!
