RE: Santuari de Lluc in Escorca

in Worldmappin2 years ago

It dates back to the 13th century, and its origins are linked to a young boy who found a statue of Virgin Mary in the mountains and brought it to the village to give it to a priest. However, the next day the statue has returned to its original location. There is no explanation about why this happened and the locals interpreted this as a miracle and as Virgin Mary wanted to stay at that place they built a small chapel which was the foundation for the monastery as we know it today

It’s really amazing how there’s a back story to literally everything in this world . Who would have thought such story existed.

Beautiful shots @delishtreats
