Socorro Church Funchal Old Town Madeira
We are in Old Town Funchal. A walk up one of the city’s oldest cobblestone streets, Rua de Santa Maria takes us to Socorro Largo ( Long ) Square and Nossa Senhora do Socorro Church or Our Lady of Socorro Church. The church is also known as also known as the Church of São Tiago or St. James Church. It was built in in 1768. It’s facade is one of the best examples of baroque style amongst all the churches on Madeira.
We are told that he doors are still in the original state from 1768. The wonderful blue Portuguese Tiles were very attractive. Apparently these are better known under the Portuguese name “Azulejos”.

Beautiful Madeira. I wandered around and found a convent and found a rose garden(It's better than running into the hookers--which happens frequently when I'm exploringf a new city)

Our Lady of Fatima Nazare Biblical “Nazareth” by Kari Gröhn karigrohncom
Our Lady of Fatima Nazare Biblical “Nazareth” by Kari Gröhn karigrohncom
Fatima provides a chance to marvel at the power of faith. A God-forsaken corner of central Portugal became a major pilgrimage site for Catholics in 1917 when a lady brighter than the sun appeared standing in an oak tree to three children.
At that time, unexplained events in remote and backward rural villages among illiterate peasants, received a religious explanation. Formal religion, folk beliefs, and superstition were frequently jumbled together. In the isolated area, belief in witches, witchcraft, and evil spirits was widespread. Rural Portuguese often sought to establish a close and personal relationship with their saints. Believing God to be an inaccessible figure, they petitioned patron saints to act as intermediaries.
Today, at Fatima you see the oak tree and Chapel of the Apparitions; a place for lighting and leaving candles; and a long smooth route on the pavement for pilgrims to approach the chapel on their knees. Many pigrims walk from as far away as Lisbon, 125km away. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims have visited Fatima in the belief that the pilgrimage could bring about healing.
Fatima is a huge complex with two big churches (The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima and Church of the Holy Trinity). Fatima boasts the financial luxury of numerous hotels, including a Travelodge and a Sheraton hotel, as well as assorted guesthouses taking up the slack for weary pilgrims. The religious and commercial zones are the 21st-century equivalent of a medieval pilgrimage centre.
The new Church of the Holy Trinity can hold 9,000 devotees. Its striking design is intentionally multinational: The architect was Greek, the large orange iron crucifix in front is German, the dazzling mosaic mural is Slovenian, and the crucifix at the altar is Irish. Outside, statues of two popes kneel facing the esplanade, Paul VI and John Paul II.
Nazare derives its name from Nazareth, Holy Land.
According to a legend Nazare derives its name from a small wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, a Black Madonna, brought by a monk in the 4th century from Nazareth, Holy Land. In November 2011 Garrett McNamara surfed a record-breaking giant wave: 23.8m from trough to crest, at Nazare. Such very high breaking waves form due to the presence of the underwater Nazare Canyon which creates constructive interference between incoming swell waves which tend to make the waves much larger.
The Incredible True Story of an African Princess in Victorian England (1999)
Sara Forbes Bonetta (1843–1880) was a West African Egbado omoba orphaned in intertribal warfare, sold into slavery, and in a remarkable twist of events, was liberated and became a goddaughter to Queen Victoria. About the book:
She was married to Captain James Pinson Labulo Davies, the wealthy Victorian Lagos philanthropist.
Originally named Aina, Sara was born in 1843 at Oke-Odan, an Egbado village.[2] In 1848, Oke-Odan was raided by a Dahomean army; during the attack Sara lost her parents and ended up in the court of King Ghezo as a slave. Intended by her Dahomeyan captors to be a human sacrifice, she was rescued by Captain Frederick E. Forbes of the Royal Navy, who convinced King Ghezo of Dahomey to give her to Queen Victoria; She would be a present from the King of the Blacks to the Queen of the Whites, Forbes wrote later. He named her Sara Forbes Bonetta, Bonetta after his ship the HMS Bonetta. Victoria was impressed by the young princess's exceptional intelligence, and had Sara raised as her goddaughter in the British middle class.[3][4][5] In 1851 Sara gained a long-lasting cough, believed to be caused by the climate of Great Britain. She was sent to school in Africa in May of that year, at the age of eight,[3] but was unhappy and returned to England in 1855 at the age of 12. In January 1862 she was invited to and attended the wedding of the daughter of Queen Victoria, Princess Alice.
She was later sanctioned by the Queen to marry Captain James Pinson Labulo Davies at St Nicholas' Church in Brighton in August 1862, after a period that was to be spent in the town in preparation for the wedding. During her subsequent time in Brighton, she lived at 17 Clifton Hill in the Montpelier area. Captain Davies was a Yoruba businessman of considerable wealth and the couple moved back to their native Africa after their wedding where they had three children: Victoria Davies (1863), Arthur Davies (1871), and Stella (1873).[6] Sarah Bonetta continued to enjoy a close relationship with Queen Victoria such that she and Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther were the only Lagos indigenes under standing order by the Royal Navy to evacuate in the event of an uprising in Lagos.[6] Victoria Davis was also goddaughter of the Queen of the British Empire.[7] Victoria Matilda Davies married the successful Lagos doctor John K. Randle.[8] A great many of both her and her daughter's descendants now live in England and Sierra Leone, while a separate group of them, the aristocratic Randle family of Lagos, remains prominent in contemporary Nigeria.
Sarah Forbes Bonetta died on 15 August 1880[1] of tuberculosis in Funchal, the capital of Madeira, a Portuguese island. Her husband Captain Davies erected an over eight-foot-high granite obelisk-shaped monument in memory of Sarah Forbes Bonetta at Ijon in Western Lagos, where he started a cocoa farm. The inscription on the obelisk reads:
IN MEMORY OF PRINCESS SARAH FORBES BONETTA
WIFE OF THE HON J.P.L. DAVIES WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE AT MADEIRA AUGUST 15TH 1880
AGED 37 YEARS[1]
Sarah´s grave is No 206 in the British Cemetery of Funchal near the Anglican Holy Trinity Church, Rua Quebra Costas Funchal, Madeira. There is currently no headstone.
Church Hyperlapse ver 1
My first Hyperlapse with numerous mistakes and problems. I had debris on my sensor. The camera looks like it was jittery the entire time. And I shot in manual when I should have shot in AV priority mode. I learned a lot from this test.
