Just inside the door is a tapered cylinder for holy water, the intention of which is to always remind one of one's baptism. To the left are the portals for the deeply recessed windows.

Different angles produce new aspects of awareness where here we see the cantilevered stairs to the pulpit and the later addition of a rope/railing for the safety of the priest.

At a short distance from the chapel are the bunker-like facilities for pilgrims and housing for clerics, alleviated only by the grass roof and colored abstractions.

To the left of the east wall and interior altar/table, is a small balcony providing access to the outdoor pulpit. On the interior north wall (left) is the pulpit for the chapel interior. Again note the floating ceiling ...

From this angle along the south wall, the disruptive floor to ceiling windows disappear and the sacral display of votive candles lead the eye upward to the small window with an image of the Virgin.

Le Corbusier, architect. Built atop a hill and replacing a traditional church destroyed in World War II, Le Corbusier, known for architecture replete with straight lines and right angles, created this pilgrimage church ...

The depth of the thickness at the base of the wall is 12.1 from which it tapers to 4.7 feet. Spatially, my wife Erma, standing within the indent gives perhaps a more vivid sense of spatial relationships.

The stained glass of the playfully indented windows are photographed to achieve the proper perception of color.

Each of the three towers surmounts a small interior side chapel, the shape of which follows the half round of the tower. Note also the concrete "gargoyle" projecting from the roof to spout its water into a whimsical catchment.
