Description	An exact replica of the beautiful and historic Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in France, "Lourdes of the West" was recently completed on the grounds of St. Elizabeth's Church in Altadena where it is attracting thousands of war anchored tourists, who are choosing the colorful Southern California vacationland in lieu of Europe this year.
