Illustrated Tour of Sacred Places in Hawai'i by Sam Cudney (English) Paperback B

Description: Illustrated Tour of Sacred Places in Hawai'i by Sam Cudney Curious about those old Hawaiian temples, churches, and the like? Ever wondered about Hawaiian religion? Interested in the spiritual side of Hawaiian culture? This is for you! Written for the visitor or local with an interest in Hawaiian history and culture but with limited time, this book singles out more than 20 culturally significant locations, on Hawaii Island (the Big Island), and provides a description and background for each. Without background information to give some cultural context, a heiau is just a pile of stones and a 19th century church is just an old building; this book brings them to life. Each location is illustrated with color photographs (nearly 100 in all). All of these sacred places can be easily reached by car, and all are free or nearly so. Among the locations described and illustrated in this book are 9 heiaus, or Hawaiian temples, including the last one built in Hawaii and King Kamehamehas personal heiau; 9 19th century missionary churches including the first Christian church in Hawaii and the first four (of the original 6) missionary churches; and sacred locations including the Waipio Valley, valley of kings; and the famous Kamehameha statues. Also included is a brief history of Hawaii, a summary of Hawaiian religious practices, and a guide to Hawaiian pronunciation. There are more than 50 clickable links to on-line references, and the table of contents is clickable hyperlinks to the text so you dont have to flip through pages to find what you want.This is an indispensable guide for visitors interested in Hawaii beyond the beach. The Kindle edition is written specifically for Kindle and other e-readers, and is optimized for display and easy access. There is a companion paperback edition as well, optimized for hard copy, which makes an ideal souvenir or gift with its large, beautiful illustrations.
