- (continued from previous page)There are numerous mementoes at this well. Every pilgrim leaves a piece of cloth, a holy picture, a medal, a rosary - beads, a little statue or some other object of piety when leaving the well. There is a large tree growing near the well on which the above mentioned objects are hung. Pilgrims also pick flowers on their way to the well which are to be found growing wild in the wood, and leave them before the statue of Our Lady. The following incident is told about some woman in the neighbourhood who by mistake took a gallon of this water home with her, but found she could not boil it.
