This shrine, located on the mountain just on the outskirts of Silverton, was built to ask for Christ's blessings on the mining industry of the San Jaun in 1958. A plaque of thanksgiving to Christ of the Mines was placed on the shrine for the deliverance of the entire workforce in 1978 when Lake Emma flooded the Sunnyside Mine. People have written little prayers to Jesus and put them in a box at the shrine. The notes were very touching, as was the act of faith that inspired the building of the shrine. I loved it!
