After a five-month hiatus for repairs, the 30-foot Virgin Mary statue was returned Tuesday to its home atop Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden. In a process that lasted six hours, the statue was hoisted in three parts to the hospital's highest point. The George Young company of Swedesboro took it down and restorers from Kreilick Conservation of Oreland repaired the cracks. http://bit.ly/HSPl1J
