Our Lady of the Underpass
Our Lady of the Underpass was a salt stain and purported appearance of the Virgin Mary under the Kennedy Expressway along Fullerton Avenue in Chicago that was noticed in 2005.

The Illinois Department of Transportation judged that the stain was probably formed by salt run-off. Cultural influence. Tanya Saracho wrote a play about the event called "Our Lady of the Underpass", which was nominated for a Jeff Award.
