The third shrine on the Pilgrimage was situated in the south transept of York Minster and being next to the red chest - or ark - for donations to the cathedral fabric became known as Our Lady of the Red Ark.
An account of what is known of this statue and devotion, together with links to other sites, is accessible in Our Lady of the Red Ark in York Minster
The post also includes something about the damaged twelfth century bas relief of the Virgin and Child now in the Minster crypt and the modern statue at the York Oratory.
Our Lady of the Red Ark Pray for us
