Smile Unluckiest church in the world

"A British archaeologist has uncovered what is probably the <a href="http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_726609.html?menu=news.quirkies" target="_blank">unluckiest church</a> in the world. The church was wrecked by two earthquakes, a flood, and a landslide - all of which happened while it was still being built."

Lovely photo of the old intended church.

The irony of it becoming an opium den though!

Reckon the builders thought it was all Satan's doing?

I love what they've done with the floors. What He did to the walls and the ceilings ain't bad either.

Talking

Wonder if we can convince Amie that this church is evidence of a miracle- perhaps caused by God's wrath at having a saint named 'Phocas'?
