Visiting the Black Madonna at Montserrat. We had to climb a very narrow staircase – especially the last bit - to see The Madonna. Everybody was taking pictures of The Madonna – even selfies. For most of the visitors, the visits looked more touristic than devotional, I have to say.
Many thanks for your views, comments, and fav’s. They are very much appreciated.
Your collage tells the story well. I imagine that happens at a lot of holy places- more tourism than devotion. It was that way in a couple spots we visited back when I went to Greece. I hope you were able to appreciate your visit here in spite of it. Great collage!
