In the times of volcano eruptions , I came across this small church . In a travel column in the Sunday papers couple of weeks ago.Volca de Santa Magarida. It is a small stone church in the middle of the volcano. When you digest and go pass the first hit of surrealism in the whole concept , you tend to wonder. My hasty googeling hasn't given me much information . May be you can tell me .
Who would put up a church in the middle of crater waiting to explode with Lava and the scorching wrath from the earth’s belly. For the moment semblance of tranquility prevails.
Like a blessed nail on the devil’s coffin , hindering (or is it mere delaying), his escape.
Whatever it is , it speaks volumes about the faith of the people who built it there. Maybe in case of apparent catastrophes , that is all that could be done.
Have faith.
