SELAMAT HARI NATAL atau GEREJA-GEREJA DI LARANTUKA (Flores-20)

[jktmike]

"In the early 1980s, Ile Mandiri sent down a flood of mud and boulders, killing more than 200 people and destroying much of Larantuka. Miraculously, however, the Chapel of the Virgin Mary, to whom the town is dedicated, and the Chapel of Christ, where the Christ coffin is stored were both spared.


The ravaging flow bypassed the Chapel of the Virgin, then bore down straight down on the Chapel of Christ - only to divide itself at the last fraction of a second, a meter from the wall, and crash into the sea". East of Bali, PERIPLUS
