The Painted Church

The Painted Church

May 24, 2014

After lunch my friend (Sophon) and I headed out to explore the island. I knew the Island was big and I did not set out to drive around the entire Island but that is pretty much what I did.  When I got back to the hotel late at night, I was beat.

My first stop was the Painted Church overlooking Kealakekua Bay, I was actually trying to get to a National Park and saw the King’s sign indicating a historic site so I stopped.

The church was built in 1899 and at the time, many Hawaiian’s couldn’t read so Father John Velghe using ordinary paint, painted biblical scenes in order to teach the bible.
