The name Sendang Sono has meaning "the spring" means water, while
"sono" is the tree. So Sendang Sono has meaning source spring water
under the tree.
Historically,
it was used the rest of the monks wanted to Boro. However, since the Priest/Fr.
Van Lith baptized 173 residents Kalibawang in this spring water in 1904, this location was used as a place of
Catholic pilgrimage. The arrival of Priest/Fr. Mangunwijoyo brings big changes
to better than this Sendang sono. Romo Mangun utilizes the contours of the land
without damaging the environment, so Romo Mangun, who is also an architect
obtained his Aga Khan Award dress so that nature remain awake.
