To get to the cave where St. Thomas hid, we went into a small opening, then down some very tight, worn stone steps. At the bottom was the cave. The stone with the cross carved in it was said to have bled. The nuns came every day to wipe it. I am not clear on when it stopped bleeding, but it wasn't bleeding when I was there. In the same cave, there is a spring that St. Thomas found coming out of pure rock when he was about to die from thirst. People bring their water bottles to be filled from it. Had I know, I would have brought one of mine.
