first cross raised in south america
SANTA ANA DE CORO: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3
Tradition claims that the cross raised in Coro was the first cross raised in South America. The cross is of wood and stands in a domed shrine in the plaza between a convent, the cathedral and a church. Secret cellars lie below the churches. The cellars were sanctuaries against pirate attacks. Francis Drake and his associates were the pirates.
I was taught at school in England that they were heroes.
The historians of Hollywood agree.
Brits only become villains with the American War of Independence.
Such is history.
Such is art.
All art is political declared Fidel Castro shortly after the Triumph. Homosexuals and politically incorrect writers and performers were excluded from the Artists' Union and banned from publishing or performing. Homosexual painters were forbidden exhibitions.
In Europe, Castro remains a hero of the Left.
Fewer and fewer English schools teach history.
Ah, well...
