Cincel students got to go on a field trip today! We visited a volcano, a basilica in Cartago and had lunch at a beautiful coffee plantation. What beautiful scenery on the way to Irazu Volcano and Cartago.
One of several craters at the summit of Irazu.
We were 11,000 feet up and it was a bit chilly too.
Stuart and Wesley take a break.
The hippie and the superstar pose for a pic.
La Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles--Our Lady of the Angels
Beautiful architecture.
The church is home to La Negrita or the Black Madonna who supposedly had healing powers.
Some of the faithful crawl on their knees to the altar.
Those who have been healed leave charms as a token of their healing.
A testimony from a young man who had been cured after falling from a tree.
Pilgrims splash themselves with the holy water that flows from the well behind the church.
As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you my God. Psalm 42
More to come tomorrow.
More to come tomorrow.
