I went there this summer, it was pretty kl and spiritual. Like you go to the grotto which is this massive rock in the side of a church ( rock was there before the church ) You have to que but then you walk around and the first thing you see is were mary appeared up in the rocks and theres a figure of her placed up there. Then you get to see the water that came out of the mud for the sinners. Then if you go under the statue there is drips of water coming from the rock. I caught a drip and smelt it and it smelt like flowers and perfume which is normal because the smell of flowers and perfume has been related to other things such as stigmata and padre pio admits that his hands smelt of flowers and perfume. Then you can go to the baths but we didnt because there was a huge que to get in. Then at night there is the service of light and we waited till the end of the que and there was this group called the Order of Malta which my grandfather was apart of in a big way. Then after you do this big long walk with your candle you say the rosary but its done in different languages. Then you say *peace be with you* with your family but then everyone like goes past everyone and does it, its fun!
