HOLY DIRT REQUEST
ENVÍOS DE TIERRITA:
"The Well" in a small room. The entrance door also is small and almost everyone has to bow so as not to hit his head. To reach to touch the holy dirt you have to kneel as Bernardo Abeyta did when he found here the crucifix of the Christ of Esquipulas on Good Friday of 1810.
For many people this place is blessed with the gift of physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Testimonies of pilgrims go back to 1816. Many people rub the holy dirt of the well to the areas of their body in need of healing. Other visitors bring holy dirt to a sick person back home. Upon leaving the Well, another room is accessed with photos, prayers and testimonies of the pilgrims.
