one hundred meters; and, it has a bridge that is fifty meters long and seventeen meters width.

Tell the story, that at the end of the years one thousand seven hundred a women and her deaf-

began, they began to feel a voice calling to them and they saw the image of the Virgin Maria,

around this shrine.

Many Colombians go to the shrine to make a pilgrimage and ask for things impossible for
man, but possible for God. This beautiful temple has many precious stones, it is well known
