Cuba will build its first church since the Marxist revolution of 1959.

When the revolutionary army overthrew the dictator Fulgenico Batista,
Cuba became a communist state and as such, was atheist.

It became secular and more tolerant of religion, but there have been no
new religious buildings until now.

Sarah Rainsford reports from Santiago de Cuba n the construction of a
new Catholic church in the city.
