This is one of several famous painted churches in Central Texas that were established by Czech and German immigrants in the 19th century. This one served a Czech community and many of the elaborate interior paintings bear inscriptions written in the Czech language. Decorative embellishments are along the walls, windows, and ceiling edges which features a pastel blue ceiling, creating a peaceful sense of tranquility. The church is dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius and was consecrated as a shrine by the bishop of the archdiocese in 2022. Dubina is not really a town, but more of a spread-out farming community. The population of Dubina is about a couple dozen people and several hundred cattle (moo or less).
