grotto

When I go, I wear a disposable hair net and pretend I’m a grotto nymph, crawling around the corners of my subconscious transporting me back in time.

The church and its grotto survived the fire, though the flames charred homes within two blocks of the structure.

Children would build grottos from the shells and pester passers-by for pennies for their efforts, with cries of "Pray remember the grotto!"

"In this grotto which symbolises how Jesus and the Holy Family found refuge, there is also the story of this Muslim family."

A short distance away is a shelf of vintage mystery paperbacks that, when pressed in the correct spots, opens onto a kind of grotto.
