Cave Chapel

Outside and Inside

The cave chapel is on the left in the cliff, and the later chapel is on the right, below a cliff. The monk's garden is in the foreground.

Altar in cave chapel. This is all open to the elements year round.. Behind this altar is a deeper area of the cave with another altar and statuary.


A water receptacle by steps leading up to the chancel

Lights lit by visitors


A Resurrection scene to one side of the interior altar

The "Three Marys" at the empty tomb, to the left of the interior altar

Looking deep into the cave with the interior altar. The figures are in side  recesses.

The rooster giving his warning above the chancel

Outside the chapel, in hollows of the cliff is this Garden of Gethsemane scene.  Christ is behind the lantern.



More to come.
