Indonesia
In 1979, Indonesian Catholics built a Marian grotto on Totombok hill,
2300 feet high, at the foot of Mt. Cereme. In the local Sundanese
language, totombok means "suffering losses." But
according to the Banten World travel agency, "after they built the
Grotto, the farmers gain profit well; feel happy and thankful to Our Lady
for fertile land and peaceful life." Josef Cardinal Tomko of Slovakia
dedicated the grotto on July 21, 1990. (Information from "Banten
