As you can see, it dominates our town, and everyone, catholics, muslims, jews, atheists, see her as a symbol of protection. Now if everything was that simple!
People traditionally go there before an exam, to light a candle, or you go there after an accident if you didn't die, or if you recover from a big illness. Seeing all those 'thank you' written in stone in "la bonne mere" brings tears to my eyes when I go visit her.
It's a place I take visiting friends to, since you also have a 360 view over Marseille. Beautiful things bring inspiration.
