Grotto of the Redemption

On my way home from St Paul from visiting Reenie, I decided to take a detour through West Bend, Iowa.
The grotto contains the largest collection of precious stones and gems found anywhere in one location! Fr Paul Dobberstein gathered rocks and stones from around the world and began the grotto in 1912.
Each of the 9 grottos portrays a scene in the life of Christ.
This was absolutely beautiful and the pictures do not even show how amazing and inspiring it is!
