  • What a beautiful site 😍 from the church itself, to how warm and welcoming the monk made us feel. We bought rosaries that came from Holy Land. We also visited the cementary with tumbs in the mausoleums as far as the 900s
  • Nice little hike to top of hill. Beautiful church, views and cemetery (very unlike US) where flowers are changed every week!
