Twice weekly the caretaker clears away votive offerings left on the large stone covering his grave. These consist of beads, medals, crucifixes, curios, candles etc. All of which are usually buried near and around the grave. The number of crutches left by those cured had increased so much that the stem of the tee over the grave was completely covered with them’.
