The most unique little church in

passable gulf in the heart of a small
island of the Madeira group. The
place of worship has a floor space
of but by feet.
The building belongs to the leper
colony which is isolated from all the
rest of the world on one of the most
beautiful and the most horrible spots
on the surface of the earth The is
land is beautiful because it is set in
the center Of a turquoise sea and
boasts a glistening white beach
backed with giant forests stretching
away to the dull blue of a distant
range of peaks. And it is horrible
