Churches

One block east of our apartment is our chapel, and one block west is the City Cathedral. We have seen a procession to the cathedral go down our street. It has a very modern style. When we visited it it had modern decorations, wooden benches on a floor that sloped towards the altar.

All the chapels for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have removable benches or chairs so that the space can be used for other activities.

When we traveled to the interior, I noticed that a lot of little churches were painted yellow ochre.

Our little chapel from our window. Below is the front of our chapel, the day Elias, Roger and Thigao were baptized. To the right is Bishop Lira, He is wonderful man.

The city cathedral...or Catedral Metropolitana de Nossa Senhora Da Apresentação. This photo is from the back and from our window. Below are the several crosses in front of the catheral that make sort of an interlocking sculpture. The carillon is out front as well.

Two neighborhood churches - one big and one small. The interior shot is of the small church. The statues are draped, maybe for Easter. The large church has St. Peter on top.

Other churches in the interior. They all have something unique to find.
