for
He was reading in a courtyard of a chapel
The photos below show the small chapel and its courtyard. This Catholic chapel, located in my neighborhood, belongs to the Lisbon center of the International Schoenstatt Movement whose origins are in Vallendar, near Koblenz (Germany). Father Joseph Kentenich (1885 - 1968) spent several years in the concentration camp in Dachau and founded Schoenstatt with other young men, in 1914. All over the world, around 200 Schoenstatt Centers have been erected; the focal point of each of them is an exact replica of the Original Shrine in Schoenstatt.
NEXT ROUND: EXCEPTIONALLY ON TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 2012
