Bom Jesus Chapel
One of the things that struck me when I visited the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus is that Christ, whom the temple is dedicated to, isn't on the main altar, but in a small chapel attached, and if you didn't know you would pass by unnoticed. It's accessed from inside the Sanctuary, through a door at the foot, on the left side of the temple. In this chapel is where the famous Bom Jesus, an oversized crucifix presides over the altar. Another striking aspect of this chapel is that the walls are covered with peculiar paintings: requests by devout people to this Christ.
