Divine Mercy National Shrine. It is constructed for the purpose of
immortalizing the Last Vision of Fatima. Almost five thousand (5,000) or more
people attends and see the blessing of the Adoration Chapel. Then the Grotto of
Our Lady of Fatima with water flowing down the landscape on which the statue of
Our Lady of Fatima is standing was constructed. Bamboo benches were installed
but later replaced by wooden phalanges for better strength and durability. It is
also more comfortable to sit onto.
