   Igreja NS Rosário dos Pretos

   • Tiradentes, Brazil
   • Sights › Religious, spiritual

   This beautiful stone church , with its many images of Black saints, was built in 1708, by and for slaves. Since they had no free time during daylight hours, construction took place at night – note the nocturnal symbolism in the ceiling paintings of an eight-pointed black star and a half-moon.
