They brought it home with them but the following morning it was gone and appeared back on the same sea- cliff. The same thing happened over and over so they understood this as a Virgin's wish to stay there forever so they build a church. A small island was then made by people from Perast who were throwing rocks and stones around the cliff.</div> </div> <div class="p-itinerary__excursion-container ng-star-inserted"> <div> <article id="product-excursions" class="p-excursions-small d-print-none pb-0 px-0 ng-star-inserted" aria-labelledby="product-excursions-heading"> <div class="d-excursion__titletext pt-2 ng-star-inserted"> <section> <p>While we include select excursions and must-see sights on your trip, you may wish to explore other options to enhance your free time.
