On the east side of the chapel, were this carving and the next
The next three pics are of the bronze plaque that tells the story.
On the kneelers in the chapel, the following prayer was posted:

Oh! Thank you for this, Z! It’s a very beautiful church. All these churches consecrated to Our Lady always have a pond or a fountain in my country.

In the shrine, there is a fountain the chapel of Our Lady Queen of Ireland. . . It’s a beautiful statue of Mary and Jesus sitting on Giant’s Causeway. . . water pooling around the base. . . And, of course, the chapel “grotto” for Our Lady of Lourdes has a small fountain. . .
