Many believers make pilgrimages to this site which is surrounded lush green jungle, making the trek a bit difficult. Due to its location not too far from a large urban area, however, it is also a very much sought-after leisure spot on weekends and holidays. It is considered one of the main tourist attractions of the area.

Every year, there is an important celebration to the Saint at this location. That day, believers dedicate their miles praying and thanking Saint Siresius. Some have traveled from all over Astyria in order to get there.

The men on pilgrimage typically start their walk from the Palace of Ravetta and finish at the monastery. The women who make the pilgrimage also pay their respects and walk from the closest Church (St. Fluvius) up to the Monastery. Inside the Monastery there are millions of Thank you Notes from people that claim to have been cured by Our Lady of Hesperidesia. They have left many of their notes along with their old handicapped chairs and much more. The view from the peak is considered one of the most beautiful views on the Southeast Hesperidesian coast. Being able to see the Island of Albandeae in the distance and the City of Ravetta, as well as some of the most beautiful beaches along the coast of Hesperidesia.
