Statue of the Virgin Mary
We entered the basilica via the central doors of the Nativity Facade.
What we saw was the entrance on the other side of the basilica: the Passion Facade with a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Meaning of Color
Each side of the church, filled with stained glass and a choir loft – has a different colour meaning.
The red/orange side is the Death of Jesus – the Passion Facade on that side of the church.
The blue/green side is the Birth of Jesus – the Nativity Facade on that side of the church.
Blue/Green Stained Glass – Birth of Jesus – Nativity Facade Side of Basilica
Red/Orange Stained Glass – Death of Jesus – Passion Facade Side of Basilica
The sun was setting – illuminating the Death of Jesus Side of the church – with a fiery red glow.
Main Door – Give Us, O Lord Our Daily Bread
The Main Doors of the church are not yet complete.
It will have the full Lord’s Prayer in the Catalan Language with the excerpt “Give Us, O Lord, Our Daily Bread” in 50 different languages.
