Clarification of Doubts

Question: Question: Recently, I visited a monastery in my country. There I felt a lot of peace within. I spent most of the time sitting on the stairs next to a spot where a Saint had passed away. At this spot there is a growth of a vine-tendril upon the wall. People say that this vine-tendril is ever young due to this Saint's grace. When I was there I was drawn specifically to a certain place. On inquiring, I found that it was the place that the Saint had left His body. Is there a spiritual reason behind my feeling drawn to that spot and the vine-tendril staying ever young?
