San Juan Parangaricutiro: The Mexican Church That Survived A Volcanic Eruption

(from Unusual Places)

   Some say it was saved by God while others affirm it was coincidence. The point is that the Sanctuary of San Juan is the only remain of a volcano eruption which affected the bustling town of San Juan Parangaricutiro. Its look is really paranormal, emerging from an ashy corner in Michoacan and being encompassed by dry bushes and nothing more. But this is not an usual Mexican version of Pompeii, as this case has a more particular story because the volcano was created just some days before it erupted.
