I've been there, not on pilgrimage but just passing thru' and was interested to see what it meant to believers.(Personally I'm not even tho' I was bought up in a staunch Irish Catholic family)It is difficult not to be affected by the power and atmosphere of the place. There is something overpowering and spooky when you get to the grotto, particularly when viewed alongside the hysteria of some of the genuine pilgrims. Hey anythings worth a shot and the experience I would advocate for anyone..................you never know.
