At entrance to the Basilica and the Tabernacle of Our Lady: - You may take photos inside the Basilica, provided you do so without flash and no services are being held. - At the Throne of Our Lady, it is best not to take photos, as it slows down the queue and disturbs others. - During acts of worship, we ask you not to enter the Basilica unless you wish to take part. Please wait until the services are finished. - The Tabernacle of Our Lady is closed during services to make it easier for the faithful to take part and attain an ambiance of silence and prayer. The Crypt, the Holy Chapel and the Tabernacle: these are places of worship. Please do not enter unless it is for devoting a few minutes of prayer and meditation.
