Cathedral of Saint Helena

Our priority this morning was to visit the Cathedral that Ed had told us about.  It is absolutely beautiful!  I will let the pictures show you....

Just as we drove up to the Cathedral, we heard the bells ring.  I hurried in as Manuel took his time and took pictures outside.  Half-way thru the mass, the homily was about death, etc.  Well, it happened that this was the funeral mass for a Dolores/Dodi.   We waited until everyone had left the church to take pictures....  Later found out that this Cathedral is closed on Mondays so Thank God that this funeral was happening otherwise, we would not have gotten to visit it.....Good is so good to us!
