Olhao

If you look through a gate on the North side of the big church, you'll see pottery limbs, and other body bits, that people would buy from the church, to bless the afflicted parts.
The baby dolls are quite sad.
I had a look at the items again today sad and grim, seems strange to me as a atheist how someone can think that a God or whatever can be persuaded by something like that after presumedly allowing an injury or afliction to occur
