    is a bush overlooking the well and it is here that people tie strings. Adjacent to the bush was a large glass jar in which people place medals and other things. There is a little graveyard beside it where little infants baptised or unbaptised are buried. It is said that people that came there with sore, rubbed the afflicted part with water.
    Other people had such belief of cures being in the water that after finishing the station they brought home some of the water in bottles.
