Statue of Saint Dominic at the way of the sacred cave, 05/20/2019
The charm of Montserrat Monastery is the magnificent view from the high mountain and the Christian symbols or statues of saints encountered along the way. All provide ample materials of insight to become a sacred place. The best and simple way of experiencing spirituality is to encounter of beautiful nature. Religious traits are meaningless in front of nature. Is interpretation of symbols or name of saint required? I'm just now and here, wonderful. That's it.
The three treasures of mine, 1) the 12 places of the Way of the Cross designed for walking around the monastery, 2)the way to the sacred cave(the Santa Cueva de Montserrat), and 3) the shelter where you can enjoy whole landscape of the monastery. It makes me want to come back some day. I will not be bored even if spending 365 days here. Plus, the occasional sound of the bell ringing when I walk through the woods is a bonus.
