So, the Holy Father is consecrating the WORLD to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Sunday October 13, promoting devotion to our Lady. I thought that this was as good a time as any to host my Shining Light Dolls Giveaway, graciously made possible by my new friend Chantal!
FOUR winners are going to win TWO Shining Light Dolls!!
Enter the RAFFLECOPTER Entries BELOW!
Aren’t these Shining Light Dolls awesome?
They are 3.5″ tall and made of rotocast vinyl: safe, durable, unbreakable and no removable parts!
They are perfect for inspiring devotion to Our Lady in our kids with their little praying faces and posture and contemporary styling that still manages to reflect the traditional images of the Blessed Mother.
“I wanted the dolls to be in line with contemporary graphic art styles, so that kids (and adults) could look at them and feel like they “fit” into the current world. It was really important to me to keep the dolls true to the traditional images (same outfits, same symbols, same colors) but make them modern, colorful and fresh so they’d be appealing to kid’s taste. “
They are safe for babies, but really appropriate for all ages. Chantal keeps discovering new ways that the dolls are enjoyed as wonderful tools for evangelization:
“People are putting their favorite doll on their desk at work as a cheerful reminder of their faith and a great non-threatening way to evangelize coworkers; giving them to children to help them learn about the different Marian apparitions; and sending them to people in hospitals as an easy (small, unbreakable and easy to clean) and affordable way to let them know they are in their prayers. And because the dolls are part of a series, we also have people from all age groups who are simply collecting them and keeping them in their homes.”
There are currently 11 Shining Light Dolls in the Virgin Mary Around the World Series
“… it was really important to me to emphasize the global nature of Catholicism- that Christ came for the world, and so Our Lady and the Saints come from every corner of the earth.”
Each Shining Light Doll comes in a clear plastic box with a nicely printed card with a prayer and biography and Feastday and Patroness information.
The Hail Mary and the Memorare are printed on the back for easy reference.
I know that my kids and Godchildren and many of my friends and family will enjoy collecting these little figures. I suspect that they will hang out in our dollhouse, overlook my kids’ bedrooms, visit our family prayer altar, and decorate our dinner table on special Feastdays. They may even find themselves sitting on a chocolate cake from time to time….good thing they are safe and easy to lick clean.
The SAINTS are coming as Shining Light Dolls too! Check out this awesome Mary and the Saints Printable!
Enter the Rafflecopter Giveaway for your choice of TWO Shining Light Dolls to WIN! There will be FOUR WINNERS…and there are lots of ways to enter!
Contest closes at midnight on Saturday October 18 at midnight!

My favorite image of Our Lady is of Guadalupe. That is one of the dolls I would choose.
I’ve just loved these dolls since I first saw them awhile ago. I didn’t know most of those apparitions so that was neat! I would say, for me, if I were to win, they would be for my two girls, and we’re fans of Fatima and Lourdes.
Our Lady of Lourdes… Because of the Rosary
Our Lady of Lourdes
I love all the dolls, but Our Lady of Guadalupe is my favorite. She is my family’s patron saint, and I would love to add her doll to our home. Thanks!
We love them all, but esp Our Lady of Lourdes!
Love Our Lady of Guadalupe!
I would be grateful for any of them, but if I had to choose, I would choose Our Lady of Guadalupe, as one of our sons was born on that day. 🙂
I would choose Our Lady of Guadalupe. I want to start incorporating her feast day into our Advent season at home. Beautiful wooden dolls!

One of my favorite devotions is The Rosary. I would love the “Our Lady of Guadalupe”
I think they are all great 🙂 My favorite is Our Lady of Guadalupe.
I’d love our Lady of Guadalupe, as my third child (second daughter) was born on her feast day! They are all beautiful, and all my kids would love them!
My favorite Shining Light Dolls are: Our Lady of China, and Our Lady of Vailankanni, India. I learned something new today. How much Our Lord and Our Lady loves us, to appear all over the world, in approved apparitions, to give us hope.
lovely toy for lil’ hands.
Perfect godchildren gifts. Guadalupe and Lourdes speak to me. 🙂
Guadalupe and Immaculate Conception!
While our Lady of Lourdes and Guadeloupe are favorites, OL Knock would be great for our St. Brigid’s Academy homeschool.
I would love to win Our Lady of Knock!
Poland — but they are all adorable — they remind me of some little wooden dolls from Japan and Korea I had when I was a child and collected dolls. I suppose my favorite image of Mary is her as Queen of Heaven from the Ghent alterpiece by van Eyck.
I have a deep devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe. These are all so cute!
These are so cute!
So hard to choose! I would love Our Lady of Guadelupe, but I would also chose Our Lady of China in honor of my niece who is in the process of being adopted from China.
We’d love to win any and all of them, however, the children would most likely enjoy the Guadalupe one since they know and love that story and we tend to act it out every year.
My favorite image of Our Lady is one I learned about last year on my visit to the Nat’l Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Our Lady of Siluva, from Lithuania. My mother’s family is from Lithuania and the story is beautiful.
Our Lady of Knock. We have Irish ancestors and my children are interested in all things Ireland at the moment.
I love them all, but Our Lady of Fatima is beautiful!
I love them all….and they will make the best gifts.
These are adorable. My little girls would love them.
These are so adorable!! I know my kiddos would love playing with them. I really like Our Lady of Czestochowa too!

I love them all! So adorable and perfect for little fingers 🙂
They are perfect for young girls! I like them all but if I had to pick, it would be Our Lady of Guadalupe. God bless!
My favorite is Guadalupe after having visited the shrine twice
I am a person that has trouble picking favorites, but I must say I have become most amazed with the Our Lady of Guadalupe apparition and the scapular sacramental from Our Lady in recent years.
The Shining Light dolls are all so beautiful and I am thrilled to see the coming saint dolls. Out of the ones out already, I would like Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Knock best.
I’m still learning a lot about the images of Mary, but I like the Our Lady of China doll. My husband’s sister is adopted from China and we’d like to adopt a daughter from China as well. I’d like to get this doll for our daughters. Thanks for this opportunity!
They are all so cool! But I think I like Our Lady of Guadalupe the most.
They are all so wonderful and beautiful!!
My favorite Marian devotion is the rosary! I love all the Shining light dolls but I’m particularly like Our Lady of Lourdes ( my confirmation saint is St. Bernadette) and Our Lady of Fatima (my wedding anniversary is Oct 13th).
JMJ
Our Lady under ALL titles is fabulous to me. I have, however, a new devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows. I didn’t notice a doll with that title.
Thank you for entering me in this contest!
God bless!
Our Lady of Lourdes
These are adorable! I love the Virgen of Guadalupe.
My favorite is definitely Our Lady of Guadalupe. Mexican missionary here. 🙂
My favorite devotion to Mary is the “Memorare”. I love “Our Lady of Guadalupe” because she is the patroness of the Americas, my husband shares his birthday on her feast day, and she is the perfect intercessor for the Pro-life movement!
My favorite is Our Lady of Lourdes. I loved reading the story of Bernadette when I was a little girl.
My favorite is Our Lady of Fatima. I love these dolls, they’re so cute! My daughter would love any of them. I can’t wait for the saints to come out!
I would love to win the Our Lady of Czestochowa, as my family I are were privileged to visit her shrine when we were living in Europe, and she is also shown holding the baby Jesus, and I am five weeks along with our newest little blessing (#6, plus two in Heaven). Being an older mom with two pregnancy losses already, I am dearly hoping to hold this little one in my arms as well as my heart!
These are adorable, I love them!
It would be really hard to pick! I love them all! But I think Our lady of Fatima would be a favorite. Thank you for offering these, they are wonderful!
They’re so cute! Our Lady of Guadalupe.
I love the OLO Guadalupe doll!
Love Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Czestochowa!
These dolls are so very precious~ just like the love our Lady has for us! I love the idea of putting them on a desk at work, but I’d probably give them to a couple of little girls who are entering The Church in a few weeks!
So adorable!
Hmm, my comment didn’t take the first time. Sorry if it’s duplicated. Our Lady of Guadalupe is our fav over here!
We love Our Lady of Guadalupe! I even painted my husband a picture of her for Christmas one year. My girls would love these! Who am I kidding, my 2 yr old son would too!
I love them all and any of them would be fun for my grandchildren.
I want them all. But I especially love Our Lady of Knock and Mother Teresa.
Thanks for hosting this.
Blessings,
Emily
I love the image of the Sacred Hearts. My favorite doll is Our Lady of Fatima. This is such a great giveaway. A lot of fun. Thanks, Vicki

Oh how sweet! I have never seen these before! Thanks for the giveaway!
Love the Our Lady of Guadalupe!
Our Lady of Fatima
These dolls are adorable! My daughters would love to win Our Lady of Czestochowa and Our Lady of Lourdes. Thank you for hosting!
Our Lady of Guadalupe. These dolls are really sweet. My two year old is in love with the ones she has and cries anytime she can’t find her favorite “Mary baby.” She takes her everywhere and even sleeps with her.
Our Lady of Knock
Our Lady of Fatima.
I love ALL of them!!
Me too! They are all adorable. I just purchased Our Lady Of Czestochowa and Our Lady of Guadalupe for a gift for our goddaughter, but when my girls saw them, now they want them too! I can’t wait to find Our Lady of Kibeho as I just finished reading about her.
My favorite is Guadalupe. Because I have a deep, though not ancestral, love for Mexico
