Beautiful church
We were surprised at how many times our guide told us that some people in Cuba are religious but a lot of Cubans aren't religious at all and don't celebrate Christmas. It's because they're a Communist country. Fidel Castro only turned to religion, and encouraged it, in his last few years.
