Description: For sale is a unique ceramic gourd vase or mug commemorating St. Benedict's Painted Church in South Kona, Hawaii. It is approx. 6" tall and 4.5" inches wide. This historic Catholic church, built in 1899, is renowned for its vibrant interior frescoes painted by Father John Velghe, which depict biblical scenes and Hawaiian cultural elements. The text on the gourd includes phrases in both English and Hawaiian:"Remembering Our Past: Mai Poina Ka Mole" (translated as "Do not forget the source" or "Do not forget the foundation")."Renewing For Our Future: E Ho‘omaka Hou Ka Hana Mua" (translated as "To begin anew the previous work" or "Restarting forward progress"). The phrases on the gourd, “Remembering Our Past” and “Renewing For Our Future,” suggest it might be tied to an anniversary, restoration project, or a commemorative event for the church or its community. The ceramic gourd is in excellent condition. See photos for details.
