The pristine white Siloama Church stands in stark contrast to the lush forest canopy that arches above the narrow path leading to its doors, creating a natural cathedral in this secluded corner of Kalaupapa. Established in 1866 and poignantly named "The Church of the Healing Spring" after the biblical pool where Jesus restored a blind man's sight, this humble sanctuary provided spiritual solace to thousands of Hansen's disease patients forcibly isolated from Hawaiian society, embodying their enduring hope for healing and restoration.
