Description

Until 1994 religion was officially banned in Cuba. While you would seldom be imprisoned for your faith you would still suffer for it. Career opportunities and entry into university could be limited. Our guide, Jorge, comes from a Catholic family and as a child remembers his parents hiding the Christmas tree in a closet when someone they didn’t know would visit them. Today the island is strongly Catholic and Pope Francis’ visit was widely celebrated. So it is no surprise that Jose Fuster would have a mosaic of the Madonna and baby Jesus in his wonderland.
