Interesting Things to See in the Cave of the Virgin Mary
Goa Maria Air Sanih offers a truly calming spiritual tourism atmosphere. Here, you will see a cave surrounded by shaded areas. You will also find a cool prayer garden so it is comfortable to use as a prayer location. Apart from that, there is the Way of the Cross which is a place to remember the story of Jesus Christ on his way to Golgotha.
The crossing at Goa Maria Air Sanih is also deliberately placed in a shady fig tree, between fruit plantations and large trees. That way, the way of the cross here can be the right place to reflect on yourself without being disturbed by the heat of the sun. With its convenience, this place can also be a suitable location to visit when you bring your little one.
The supporting facilities at Goa Maria Air Sanih are also quite complete. You will find officers who regularly guard the Maria Cave area. Apart from that, you can also take advantage of lodging facilities if you want to stay overnight. Not to forget, there are bathrooms with a good level of cleanliness and a souvenir shop.
Unique History of the Cave of the Virgin Mary
The existence of Maria Air Sanih Cave is actually not that long. The existence of this cave cannot be separated from the wishes of Father Willy M Batuah CDD who is interested in Air Sanih Tourism. Therefore, he then bought 3 hectares of land in the area around Air Sanih, around 1.7 km. Furthermore, Father Willy hopes that this area can be used as a place of prayer.
Yeh Sanih Tourism in particular is one of the unique tourist attractions in Bali. In this place you will find a fresh water source located on the beach. This spring is unique because it flows into the sea.
It’s just that establishing a prayer room in the area around Air Sanih Tourism takes quite a long time. This effort was only realized on October 23 2005 with the establishment of Goa Maria Air Sanih. In the process of making it, there is a statue of the Virgin Mary which is the work of the late Stefanus Bambang Triadji, who is known as a specialist artist in sculpture. This cave then received blessing from Mgr. DR Benyamin Yosef Bria Pr.
