St Pauls Church

TIME : 2016/2/17 10:53:17

If you are in the Majengo area of Mtwara, it's worth stopping in at St Paul’s church to view its remarkable artwork. The entire front and side walls are covered with richly coloured biblical scenes painted by a German Benedictine priest, Polycarp Uehlein, in the mid-1970s. In addition to their style and distinctive use of colour, the paintings are notable for their universalised portrayal of common biblical themes.
