Absolutely amazing. A must see for Catholics and or Christians alike. It's the stations of the cross and Moses on Mt. Sinai. Be prepared to cry. We just loved it and plan on returning. Bring a rosary to leave (if you want) at one of the Mary statues.
Walking through the exhibit felt eerily similar to traversing Jesus's time period, given its meticulous layout.
Wow! I have seen the billboards for years and wanted to visit and I finally did. What a beautiful and amazing place. I didn’t get to see everything and will be returning.
Beautiful place. I captured the perfect shot, with the sun between Mary's hands.
AMAZING!!!! No cost for walk through but donations are appreciated; They are so welcoming, friendly and wonderful people. Such a beautiful, well kept place and so much historical information!!! This is a hidden treasure!! I will definitely return and recommend.
It's a great experience and family outing. Many beautiful religious statues especially at the entrance.
This is a worthwhile stop! We saw a billboard ad on Hwy 30 and took a detour. No regrets! Very well done. FREE. Amazing gift shop.
If you are looking for a Christ centered place to visit and reflect, this is your place. Due to my dad being a disabled vet we rented a golf cart for our tour. Mary was our tour guide and everyone in the group had a great time!
This is a beautiful place to visit and a must-see if you're in the area! It has two gift shops and a walking trail to follow the stations of the cross. There are speakers at each stop where when you press a button, Bill Curtis gives a commentary on that specific station. There is beautiful music playing throughout the walk as well. I'm so glad I made a visit here! This is also free, but you can offer a donation if you wish.
Muy hermoso la verdad pero si ban a venir vengan con aguas frías caminamos mucho el recorrido pero valió la pena
A beautiful and well-executed depiction of Christ's passion. The walk takes you through the stations in a wonderful way. Be sure to visit St. John the Evangelist Parish that is along the path as well.
Absolutely stunning Shrine. We've been there twice now and find it so peaceful and meditative. Be prepared to walk a fair distance but it is so worth it.
This is probably the main attraction of Saint John Town. Regardless if you are religious or not, the place is a must to visit. Carefully designed and very well maintained.
Very beautiful presentation of life sized bronze statues of the Passion of Christ. Worth the time to visit.
Loved visiting this location. There are a lot of scenes coming to life with very good narration. I can't wait to return.
The tour was awesome. Jesus died just to save a sinner like me
Beautiful and peaceful place!
Highly recommended!
Such a peaceful and beautiful place! It's the perfect setting for a prayerful experience! Highly recommend!
What an incredible experience 😥
It is a tremendous reminder of the
love Jesus has for us all.
so beautiful and touching. I have been wanting to see it ever since
I found a DVD about it.
Highly recommended, a must see♥️
Everything was amazing. I visited with my three children and they took pictures. I love the visual arts to help bring this story home my children aged 6,7, and 15 we all in awe as we followed the prayer trail. I will visit again by myself my children kept interrupting my prayers. Also it’s free they only ask for donations via a small box so please look for the donation box and donate before you leave. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Absolutely beautiful and highly recommend visiting.
Best experience of my life! I left with a renewed sense of spirit and compassion, I highly recommend this place!
Word's don't really do this magnificent place justice; it's all about what you experience while you're there. I fell in love with this place about 6 years ago, it's peaceful, beautiful, serene, magical, and the presence of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is alive and well there. I thank God for whomever came up with thr idea to create this marvelous place, I thank God for the staff as well. No matter what you're going through, how you're feeling, when you start to walk on the Prayer Path it will leave you before you enter back into the gift shop! Thank you all for the wonderful experiences and may God continue to richly bless you and continue to build and create more Biblical scenes and tell the stories.
Todo el lugar está muy bonito. Se siente una sensación de tranquilidad y una paz increíble. El personal es muy amable. La tienda muy bonita. El recorrido de la pasión de cristo fascinante su relato. Todo todo me encantó. Muchas gracias.
I work for Wintrust’s travel group Platinum Adventures & we brought a group of 26 people to the Shrine. To say it was a moving experience would be an understatement! The staff is amazing & so knowledgeable making the experience that more meaningful! The gift shop is second to none with such a large variety of items. I go on lots of trips & I can say I’m excited to plan another trip back soon!
Que vengan a visitar y a meditar las estaciones donde cristo fue crucificado es un hermoso lugar 🙏
Beautiful place to connect with the journey of Christ. The tour was educational and spiritual. I will definitely return.
Wonderful, I can’t explain how I’m feeling but I feel so happy and pace. Thanks Good
llevar agua suficiente.
Un bello lugar !
lleno de mucha calma y tranquilidad.
This is a great place to visit. my husband and I have visited more than once. We are Protestant but this is the shrine of Jesus Christ. no matter what denomination you are if you know Jesus or love Jesus visit this place.

It allows you to go back into time and walk the road of Via Dolorosa with Jesus Christ..

When you reach the end and see him on the cross, the emotions is so strong is like being in the presence of the Lord.

The Ascension scene is very emotional and touching. If you love the Lord; you need to go see the shrine. Churches need to take field trips, Sunday Schools to the shrine.

You will not leave there feeling the same way that you did when you came.

I knelt with Jesus in The garden of Gethsemane. So very close to the real thing that you feel the spirit of God.

The same way when you feel the spirit as you read the word and get into the word.

I believe this place was ordained by the Lord

They have great nativity sets both for the young and the young at heart. So many beautiful religious items to choose from. The Shrine of Christ's Passion giftshop is worth the visit.
An amazing and humbling experience! Such a powerful exhibit for anyone to visit - no matter where you are in your faith! Definitely a must see!!
