Visiting shrines in honor of Mary is called a Marian pilgrimage. Devotees usually do this in Thanksgiving, asking for special intercessions such as healing (like in the shrine of the miraculous Our Lady of Lourdes in France) or as a reaffirmation of their faith. For Catholics, it is one way of drawing closer to her Son, Jesus ("To Jesus through Mary").
