A white 1986 Acura Legend sits beneath a canopy on the grounds of Rosa Mystica House of Prayer in Edmeston, New York.

Rosaries lie across the dashboard. Prayer cards are tucked into the seats. Medals and other devotional offerings have accumulated where a passenger might once have left a coffee cup or a pair of sunglasses.
