Grotto of the Redemption postcards

Today's bonus during the Paper Doll Veronika book crowdfund campaign, more antique postcards. These are of an incredible but little-known landmark in Iowa, an massive, elaborate construction of cement and stones, many of them semiprecious, portraying the life, passion, death and resurrection of Our Lord. I have been there and it is amazing.









And these postcards were printed in 1935, when the grotto was still being built. Now there is even more to it.
