I wanted an adventure, so I searched for a country that would provide me entertainment, a language to learn and weather to enjoy. Argentina became the perfect match.

My Church Observation in Sudamerica
Salta and Las Salinas (the salt flats) were great, minus my short of breath while being above sea level. During my visit I couldn't help but notice that the display of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion is a part of the norm in churches in Sudamerica (at least Buenos Aires, Salta, and some northern villages that I visited). A few years ago I visited churches in Europe, in addition to being raised in churches throughout my life, but I have never seen such a display of Jesus Christ in multiple churches. I'm talking about a real life image, not just a picture. Above are two similar displays in different churches, but I also saw huge displays of Jesus Christ lying down, as if he was resting after his crucifixion. I can admit that I was a little frighten of the site at first although I do understand its meaning.
I wonder if people's faith in God would become substantial in a short amount of time and sustainable if they were to see such a display in church all the time?
