Iowa's Incredible Shrine of the Grotto of the Redemption

Visiting the stunning, and super extra, Shrine of the Grotto of Redemption in northern Iowa. It's the largest grotto shrine in the world and is made with a vast collection of minerals and precious and semi-precious stones.

I wish more people would spend their vacation time exploring their beautiful country, instead of heading off to foreign destinations.

Really hard to believe that one man constructed all of this. He must have had help with it, at least, some of the time.

You showed a stone staircase and wondering where it went to its the staircase symbizing the stairs leading down to the tomb where he was buried and rose from the dead

Hare Krishna, only God can create such beauty. As he speak in the Bhagavad-Gita as it is:
O mighty conqueror of enemies, there is no end to My divine manifestations. What I have spoken to you is but a mere indication of My infinite opulences.

That place is beautiful, but the guy who created it is WAY off on his theology. Mary cannot answer prayers. She's a mere human like all of us.
