Mary, the picture is a public domain one, and yes it's supposed to be a monastery or a hermitage. I've been trying to track down its location. Since it's a photo, it must exist somewhere! I have seen a number of (photos of) monasteries built "in" rock!!
Wow! How did they do that? Think about it, no modern tools. Then I think, how does God do the things he does in our souls :) And some souls are pretty tough pieces of stone I'd imagine.
I know, Patty - I also wonder how! I find the picture captures my imagination in general. Like - what's it like INSIDE the rock.. and how much building is back there?
Nancy,
ReplyDeleteIs that a monastery in your picture? I mean, does it exist? I've never seen anything like it!
The quote is wonderful too!

DeleteNancy, thank you for finding this beautiful quote, and picture. If only I could have found the truth of it earlier in my life.
ReplyDeleteOh, if only I had found the truth of it earlier, too. Thanks!
