The "Then" photo is an undated photo showing a May Crowning ceremony at the Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto on the campus of Mercyhurst University in Erie, PA. This photo was published in the book, Erie Reflections, Volume One. The "Now" photo shows the grotto as it appears today. The grotto has changed in minor ways over the years, such as the statue of Our Lady being moved off the altar and into the alcove of the grotto, and there no longer being a statue of St. Bernadette on the ground.
The grotto was designed by the Rev. William L. Sullivan, the first Chaplain of Mercyhurst College, in 1932. The grotto depicts Our Lady as she appeared in the grotto at Lourdes, France to St. Bernadette Soubirous in 1858.
