Little local parish church spotted on a walk.

Little local parish church spotted on a walk.
I hadn't noticed it before. It has a pleasing and colourful frontage.
There was a sign on the door saying 'No more than 64 worshippers'. As this was the first Sunday when the churches were allowed to open, I had a peek inside. Let's just say that, while there was a full service going on, 64 was wildly optimistic (I counted 3 worshippers)!
But at least they were widely spread around the church, wearing masks, and not all bunched together!
Well done them!!

I'm sure you're right, José Manuel. This did not start out as a church, that's for sure. And this is a poor section of town, with a high number of people from The Dominican Republic in particular living here (among others). Maybe this is a Christian sect from Central America. When I popped inside, the service seemed standard for the Catholic faith and I could only see the backs of the worshippers heads as the light was low.
A lot of of my comments are pure supposition, as I'm sure you can tell, but nevertheless based on observation and a general understanding of some of the ways of the world!

Many thanks. Pleased you like it!
Maybe unusual in your 1970 visit, Rosa, but fairly common now.
I think we held a similar discussion on Pano, when you were surprised when I mentioned that it had been found that Spain was the least devout country in Europe, judging by the proportion of the population who were churchgoers.
