The Golden Altar was at Old Panama when Henry Morgan, the English Pirate, and his men came to ransack, rob and burn. The people at Old Panama got news that this notorious pirate was on his way and white washed the altar and took it off shore in a boat. After Henry Morgan left leaving destruction behind, the altar was brought back to shore. Eventually the white wash wore off, and this is how it looks today in a very small and unassuming church in Panama City. (A new city was built across the bay after Henry Morgan left.).......... .........Hope you enjoy!...... PS Yes, I know that I had the date on on my camera; an accident. And the date is wrong too.
