The EDSA Shrine, also known as the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of Peace, is not just a place of worship but also a historical landmark that played a key role in the 1986 People Power Revolution. This shrine stands as a symbol of peace and unity, commemorating the millions of Filipinos who gathered along EDSA to peacefully overthrow a dictatorship and restore democracy in the country. Built in 1989, the shrine was dedicated to the Virgin Mary under the title Queen of Peace, as many believe that her intercession helped keep the revolution bloodless. The large bronze image of Mary atop the shrine, with her outstretched hands, is an iconic sight along EDSA, reminding Filipinos of the power of faith and nonviolent resistance. Despite being located along one of Metro Manila’s busiest highways, the church offers a peaceful atmosphere for prayer and reflection. The architecture is simple yet solemn, and the interior is well-maintained. Regular masses are held, and many people come here to light candles and offer prayers, especially during significant national events. If you’re visiting or passing by Ortigas, the EDSA Shrine is worth a stop—not just for its religious significance but also for its historical importance in shaping the country’s democracy.

Appointed a jubilee 2025 pilgrim church, under the archdiocese of Manila, this shrine is a testament to the Filipino peoples love of peace as it is at the very location of this shrine that has seen the peaceful overthrow of 2 presidents. The location itself is located at the crossroads of two major thoroughfares in Metro Manila and right smack in front of the entrance of Robinson’s Galleria Mall. The church itself is not big but beautifully designed to incorporate modern architecture with traditional Philippine touches in many areas specially seen in the many capiz shells used in decoration. Although compact, this little church has everything, a baptistery, an adoration chapel, parish office, votive candles lit in a minute open air garden. The cross centerpiece is a modern lighted rendition and quite unusual. Mass schedules are attached in the pictures here

The Shrine of Mary, Queen of Peace, Our Lady of EDSA, or more popularly, the EDSA Shrine is a small church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila located at the intersection of Ortigas Avenue and Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Barangay Ugong Norte, Quezon City. The church is also called the Archdiocesan Shrine of Mary, Queen of Peace or Mary, Queen of Peace Quasi-Parish, although these names are seldom used. It is also a declared Important Cultural Property by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. Built in 1989 on donated land to commemorate the People Power Revolution, the shrine is the site of two peaceful demonstrations that toppled Presidents Ferdinand Marcos (the People Power Revolution or EDSA I) in 1986, and Joseph Estrada (the EDSA Revolution of 2001 or EDSA II). The EDSA Shrine is the northernmost tip of the Ortigas Center, a financial and commercial district occupying large tracts of land in Quezon City, Mandaluyong, and Pasig.

Mañosa's expertise in architecture is displayed with the seamless integration of Our Lady of EDSA's monument and the shrine below. The glass doors are both functional and aesthetic—as it is fully air-conditioned inside and at the same time evoking an "open" space for people in all walks of life. The bells also have that distinct melody which admittedly is what called me back to the faith. The adoration chapel is located at the left side of the shrine, and a parking lot is located at the right side of the shrine. There are stations of the cross above, and a beautiful mural is placed around the shrine which makes the Filipino people remember that the EDSA revolution is not just solely political but also divine intervention.

This chapel is a great place to celebrate Mass. However, you must get there early so that you can get a seat, This place does not have aircon but does have some fans, however, if you get unfortunate enough and not have a fan near you, you will become uncomfortably hot, especially due to the amount of people there. The priest is from France, and you can tell because he has an accent. He seems like a very nice priest, although it is hard to understand him as he is wearing a mask and also has an accent, so during our mask there were some subtitles but during the homily there weren't.
