The International Pilgrim Statue is the first depiction of “the lady dressed in white” rendered and perfected by Jose Thedim according to Lucia’s description (one of the children who saw Mary). In fact, this is the first commisioned statue sent on purpose with the mission and therefore “endowed” with the rich history of its non- stop travels for 66 years around the globe in more than a hundred countries.
The statue is the appearance of the “Lady of the message”. It is a reminder of an event with WHO, WHAT, WHERE and for WHOM.
The image signifies there is work to be done, a message that needs a specific response. It simply is not a kind of a trophy of achievement but a recognition of something that there still needs to be accomplished.
