This is popular in California and Arizona (maybe other places I haven't been). It is the Virgin Mary - who isn't a saint because apparently the Catholics think she is somewhere above a Saint, but below holy. And, although the got rid of purgatory, apparently Virgin Mary still somewhere in between.
Anywho, I find these bathtub Marys sweet and touching. Kind of like the house shrines to dead relatives or gods in China, Vietnam and India.
I don't know if it gives comfort to people, but I really hope it does. They make me feel better.
