0821 church

One of the high points of the Tour was the Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church. The staff was setting up for a wedding, but we were allowed to go inside and look around. The congregation sits in old-style wooden benches, and there are murals on the ceiling and rear & front upper walls. One depicted the Crucifixion of Christ, but there appeared to be more observers than I thought there were. Anthony explained that it was the custom of the time (when the murals were painted) to incorporate images of patrons as observers.

Interesting.
