The statue of Christ at the top of the mountain.
To give you some idea how big this statue is, my hubby, Eddie, is
6'5" and he isn't half as tall as the base of this statue.
|
When you drive up the mountain, the convent is the first thing
you come to.
|
This is where you get the Mother Cabirni water. It's said
that when she started her convent here there wasn't any water, so she struck
her staff on a rock and water squirted out.
|
This spring is one of the purest in the world. We were
last here back in 1969 and I have water from then and it's still as pure
as the water I got this trip.

The Chapel building. There are 2 levels with a chapel in the
upper level and lower level.
The top of the building in the lower left corner is where the water
is.

Where the trees are is part of the steps leading to the statue
of Christ. If you look close you can see the statue right behind the second
top tree.
|
Part of the steps. I think there's a cazillion of them!
|
The kids on the steps. You can say the rosary as you go
up the steps. There are plaque's on crosses with all 15 misteries
of the rosary. You can see 2 of the crosses at the top of this picture.
