Geocache Description:

A Must See Jewel Of Trinidad.. To visit the Shrine, It's just a short walk through the gates up the hill, If they are closed

Ave Maria Shrine
A Beautiful Mystery In Trinidad.
In 1908, a Trinidad physician was leaving the hospital after all night
duty. It was dawn and a snowstorm was in progress. At the most
intense moment in the storm the doctor noticed a flicker of light on the
north side of the hill near the roadway. At first he ignored it but then
he thought it might be someone in distress. He began following the
light. The climb was hazardous, the frozen ground and steep slope
caused the doctor to fall numerous times, but despite the hardships he
reached the small clearing.
Breathless, he was astonished to see the statue of the Virgin Mary.
There was a flickering candle illuminating the base of the statue.
Awed by the existence of such a vision, he reached out and touched
its outstretched hand and called out to whoever had lit the candle, but
there was nobody. The storm worsened and the doctor stayed by the
statue until daybreak. The Blessed Mother had offered him protection
from the savage storm.
When word of the doctor’s discovery spread throughout the community,
the reactions were varied. How could someone have left a 250-
pound statue on the hill during a blizzard then vanish into thin air? To this
day, the mystery has never been solved. The statue is the centerpiece
in the present chapel. To visit inside chapel please Phone (719) 846-6129.
