Good Gawwwwwwd! What the hell is that thing?

It's the tabernacle in the Basilica of the Divine Mercy near Krakow, Poland. It really is quite horrid. The red light blinks on and off, giving the impression that Jesus is not really sure whether he wants to stay there or not, or that he's playing peekaboo.

The building looks like it's part rocket ship ready for blast-off and part amusement park ride with a roller coaster looking thing on the top. There are no pews or kneelers-just folding chairs, and kneeling on the cold marble floor during a Polish winter is a real penance.
