Chapel in Bauta

This lovely small chapel was being cleaned by these two ladies. I wanted to take their picture, but they insisted that they must finish, put up their mops and buckets before any photos were made. There was a very nice replica of a ship, perhaps Noah's Ark, in the vestibule of the chapel. There are churches and chapels throughout Cuba. There are at least two synagogues in Havana. I have been to church (Episcopal) in Havana, there were perhaps 300-350 people there, no one seemed the least bit intimidated or nervous. All of the rumors about the suppression of the church and possession of bibles or the persecution of church going people is just not the case. It might have been years ago, but certainly since the visit of Pope John in 1998 things have changed.
