CUBAN REFUGEE DISCOVERS FREEDOM OF RELIGION IN FLORIDA
MIAMI BEACH--Reynaldo Sanchez Vetia, a Cuban refugee, studies a statue of
San Lazaro, the patron saint of Cuba, as he rests on a cot
in a camp on Miami Beach -- temporary living quarters for hundreds of
new arrivals. He accidently came upon the statue in a pile of donated
clothes at the facility.
Mr. Vetia, who is a Catholic, says he was not allowed to practice his
faith in Cuba.
