Attentive cyclists will have seen a grotto—whether formed by natural forces or perhaps artificially created—decorated with a statue of the Virgin Mary on numerous occasions. Very often, it is a depiction of Mary, as in Saint Bernadette's description of the apparition in Lourdes (in the French Pyrenees). Here, however, we encounter a different statue, possibly made of olive wood and not painted. The differently colored cross that the Virgin Mary holds in one hand is striking. Perhaps it did not originally belong to this figure and was added later.
