Day trip to Montenegro

We arrived in Montenegro and took a  little boat to visit the baroque Our Lady of the Rocks shrine on a man made island. The island was formed by local fishermen who, after seeing the Virgin Mary in the reef, began dropping stones on the spot every time that they sailed by.

 And below  is the island cemetery

Saint Luka’s Church, Romanesque style constructed in 1195 it is one of the few of such age that is still standing and it is still in use. two centuries it had two altars, where both Roman Catholics and Christian orthodox believers could pray together.
