The grounds for this church were quite lovely, with mossy grottoes and mosaic walkways.

Unfortunately, the doors were locked, so we were unable to see the famed baby Jesus within.

The area next to the graveyard features rugged picnic tables made from discarded bits from the church.Read more

TravelerOh, wow! Wasn’t the landscaping unique? I found the rock grottoes intriguing. Was the church open when you were here?
