More about this scene
Pilgrims seeking their curative powers have long venerated the healing properties of sacred wells. Early Christians would drink or even immerse themselves in 'holy' water. Votive offerings were often thrown into the water: today, tourists often do the same by throwing coins into fountains and wells.
