I was checking out meds pics on another thread. I have never been to the grotto at ND but to me it looks like a replica of the grotto at Lourdes. Is that so? Any history behind that you can share?
Having a huge devotion to Mary really makes me curious.

It is an exact replica, I believe at either 1/12 scale or 1/16 scale. I'll try to find out more for you.
-edit-
Here you go:

And it's 1/7th the size of the original.

Wow, four years at ND and I didn't know that. You learn something new every day.
I used to visit there right before Finals Week every semester.

Any time. There is a beautiful grotto at my old high school that is often used for weddings. I lit some candles there during my high school days.
