History

This shrine stands in a city that flourished as a coal-mining center. Miners descended into depths daily, and countless people visited seeking safe return for their loved ones. In the face of constant danger, this shrine became a spiritual anchor and beacon of hope for families praying for their miners' safety and welfare.
