statue of Pope John Paul II in Funchal Cathedral where his holiness was in 1991, during a official visit to Madeira island in May 12.
This picture already has a few years. I took in 1991 when Pope John Paul II made an official visit to Madeira in May. Was obtained at the Cathedral of Funchal and only a few days ago I spent the slides to digital format. And the importance of meeting the picture in its symbolism, and the blessing that the Holy Father decided to share it with you.

Esta foto já tem uns anos. Tirei em 1991 quando o Papa João Paulo II fez uma visita oficial à Madeira em Maio. Foi obtida na Sé do Funchal e só há dias passei dos diapositivos para o formato digital. E, pela importância que encontro na foto, no seu simbolismo, e na benção que o Santo padre faz decidi partilhar consigo.
This bielding, some decades ago, was a hotel. A charming hotel. Today it's a catolic scholl.
But, I don't put this piture to see it.
If you can see, a white car is parked. It's the named in portuguese "papamóvel", a UMM Jeep adapted to the needs of the Vatican, when the Pope John Paul II visit Madeira in 1991. Was entirely done in the factory in Portugal Mocar.
