High on a hill near Urueña stands this Romanesque hermitage of Mozarabic origin, one of the most unique in Castile and León. What few know is that beneath its floor were found Visigothic pottery fragments and a small well used to collect rainwater, considered blessed. Local shepherds said that this water cured eyesight if applied at dawn. Today, the well remains, covered by a slab, and the hermitage continues to hold its air of mystery among the golden stones of the moor.

The local congregation has dedicated this church not to one of the (almost infinite) saints, but to "Santa Cruz" as its patron saint. Perhaps a brief stop for hikers or walkers is the appropriate time for a brief meditation and a prayer to God. I would therefore like to invite you to prayerfully contemplate God's infinite love for us humans, revealed in Christ nailed to the wood of the cross. Perhaps a quote from the Spanish order's founder, Ignatius of Loyola (1491 to 1556), may be helpful: + "Trust in God is most exalted precisely where human hopes sink most deeply. For where all human help gives way, there it makes way for divine help."
