Our Lady of Victory National Shrine and Basilica is located on the corner of South Park Avenue and Ridge Road in Lackawanna, New York. Built between 1921 and 1926 under the direction of Father Nelson Baker, the Basilica is a well-known church and pilgrimage site. Among the Basilica's many magnificent and beautiful works of art is its large dome. According to the Basilica's website, "Of all of the Shrine's many breathtaking works of art perhaps the most dramatic appears within the dome. Measuring 80 feet in diameter and close to 120 feet from the floor, the painting of the Assumption and Coronation of the Blessed Mother is a true masterpiece. Around the dome's outer edge, the 12 apostles and three archangels are shown, while an angelic host carries Mary heavenward. Above her, the Holy Trinity awaits her arrival. The dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit is at the center of the work, and, fittingly, the apex of the Shrine."
