Tiny churches for the soul

Posted by ElDavid Mar. 10, 2009 @ 1:20 PM EDT

I'mma do a book about these things. I took this pic on the way to Perijá. Locals buld them on the site where someone in a car accident has died. It's a cenotaph. There's no body buried there. They usually have the shape of a chapel or church, and the name and date of death of the person(s) who died there. Inside there are usually offerings (candles, crucifixes, religious stamps, flowers, beer).

They're found in may countries. I'm working with the ones in Venezuela. They can be seen on the sidelines of many interstate highways and rural roads, where there are numerous automobile accidents. I did a documentary on this subject for my graduation thesis at LUZ university. Oh, the stories I heard.
