Painted Church

Uploaded: January 01, 2013

Description

St Benedict's - The Painted Church. This spectacular church (near Captain Cook, Hawaii) was erected in 1899 by Father John Velghe. He was a Belgian and a member of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Society, familiarly known as the Picpus Fathers. Without any professional training and using only his passion and house paint on ordinary wood he beautified the church with his paintings. In those days few Hawaiians could read and so he taught with pictures-most successfully.
