Why is there an Italian Chapel in Orkney?

[@droddick2006]

I’m a quarter Scottish, a quarter Italian, and 100% Catholic so this is extra cool for me.

Great video, nice to see that in the middle of a terrible war the italian prisioners were well trated and permited to build this masterpiece out of scarce resources

Amazing that pre-Vatican II Catholics can build such a beautiful chapel out of scraps. Now, we build chapels fit for the scrap heap.

Ingenious! And such a joyful interior. They were some happy POWs!

Why not do a short feature on the Ukrainian Chapel outside Lockerbie? Much less known and equally fascinating history...

Is it Eastern Catholic? Never heard of it ? Can you email me details [e-mail]

Was it not torn down recently?
