Description
The Painted Church (St. Benedict Catholic Church) in the south Kona district (Hōnaunau) was built in 1842 in Kapalelua, and was moved to its present location around 1880. The Belgian priest Father Jean (or John) Berchmans Velghe (1840-1889) painted the interior of the church with depictions from the bible and the lives of the saints. These were very important teaching tools in a time when many people couldn’t read and write.
