LOURDES GROTTO
Aruba is predominantly Catholic and while driving through the north eastern coast you will find a shrine built into the rock with a statue of the Virgin Mary. The impressive 700 kilogram statue was erected in 1958 and every year on February 11, which is the day of the Feast of the Lady of Lourdes, a procession heads to the grotto where mass is performed.
