Why do people put their Mary statues in a bathtub that is planted on-end in the ground?

Question

I've seen it in people's yards in the country.

Answer 1

It is an attempt to make it look like she's coming out of a cave. If you look around the world, all the Marian (pagan) shrines depict her coming out of a cave. This is because they are really worshipping a pagan goddess, and all ancient gods/goddesses are portrayed as coming out of caves. Most catholic churches do the same. It's paganism. Even look at "The Grotto" in Portland, OR. Another "cave"!

Answer 2

Thats really creepy...

Answer 3

I googled Grotto and it looks almost Buddhist.

Answer 4

If Kira is such a Christian as she porports to be, she wouldn't attack another's faith.  Catholics honor Mary as the mother of Jesus.  Mary is a symbol of our faith.  If you see one, you know the family is Christian.

If you have ever visited the Grotto in Portland you know it is a place that prays constantly for the healing of cancer victims.  A special St. Peregrine Mass is offered on the first Saturday of each month for those suffering from cancer, AIDS, serious illness or incurable disease. It is NOT a cave by any means.  It is a prayer site where people can meditate on the life of Jesus.
