This is a place of pilgrimage for childless women. On the monastery's festival day, 18 September, women climb up the 995 steps to the summit on their knees, to pray that they may conceive. We there alone on a grey December day. Only a lordly ram and his harem of ewes were our companions on the climb up.
We offered a prayer at sunset beneath the lowering clouds.
