Built with more than $12 million in donations, Our Lady of La Vang is the first large-scale rendition in the U.S. of a figure sacred to Vietnamese Catholics.

A canvas drape covered the statue, but that did not stop tourists from filming themselves in front of it.

The Italian marble statue dressed in a high-collared Vietnamese ao dai and traditional hat, with a baby Jesus in her arms, is capped by a spiraling canopy designed to evoke the rainforest where she made her appearance. In a congregation where about 40% of worshippers are Vietnamese and 35% Latino, being bilingual is a requirement for priests to be hired, said Orange County Bishop Kevin Vann.

A shrine of rice straw and leaves was eventually constructed at the site before being burned in 1805 in another round of anti-Catholic persecution.It was rebuilt in 1900, drawing pilgrims from around the world who told stories of miraculous cures they experienced after praying there. A board of priests headed by Monsignor Tuan Pham of Saint Columban Catholic Church in Garden Grove helped design the statue, which will be graced with rosary gardens and a waterfall, along with a wall bearing the names of 117 Catholics persecuted in Vietnam.
