What travelers say:

The Lava Church of Our Lady of Réunion is a volcanic island that erupts all year round, and magma flows down from the top of the mountain, and every magma eruption causes damage to many houses and land. One of the eruptions was so severe that hundreds of people died in the eruption, and the church I mentioned was above the magma-filled line. But when magma met the church, a magical scene occurred, magma turned the direction, from the side of the church around, countless locals regarded it as God's will, the Virgin in the church manifested, and because of this, the church is surrounded by black lava, It has since been renamed the Lava Church of the Virgin. Experts also investigated the phenomenon of this artifact, and thus came to the conclusion that the magma has been trekked to a long distance temperature is not so high, plus the air pressure in the church, temperature and other factors have created this magic phenomenon. Approaching the church, you will be attracted by the iron lava surrounding it, the area is very large. The black contrast with the pale pink of the church's exterior walls gives a small, fresh church a dangerous feel. And entering it we see a special presence, a statue of the Virgin on the right side of the church, and the special thing is that she may be the only one in the world to have an umbrella. The Virgin in the church was once placed here. Because the Virgin was always placed in the open air, locals worried that she would be exposed to the sun, so they added a sun umbrella to her.
