Saint Patrick's Day. Dublin 1963.

On a Dublin sidewalk during Saint Patrick's Day celebrations in 1963, two women kneel in prayer before a makeshift shrine. Housed in a storefront window, the display is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, whose statue with the infant Jesus is framed by ruffled curtains. A small altar below is draped with a cloth bearing a Marian monogram and, along with the floor of the alcove, is elaborately decorated with vases of fresh flowers. Above, a string of bunting flags hangs across the building’s facade.
