If I ever find myself in some haunted catacombs again (which I sincerely hope I don't) I'd want something like that along.Brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796317915330760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456971920210651577.post-34952027930722587992010-09-01T12:55:33.015-05:002010-09-01T12:55:33.015-05:00Left-Footer,
If I were to do this post over, I...Left-Footer,<br /><br />If I were to do this post over, I'd re-write that last paragraph: particularly "I don't think that everybody <b>should</b> have things...." I think Catholics should display tokens of our faith. I was trying to avoid sounding like folks who are convinced that if they do something - everybody ought to do so, too.<br /><br />About Turkish? I don't understand that language - but I've got access to some decent translation software. Wonderful stuff, software.<br /><br />As for your luminous Crucifix & Holy Water squirter: We've a few items like that, too: including a glow-in-the-dark Rosary.<br /><br />Which is handy when it comes to nighttime prayers.Brian H.

Hat tip to you!<br /><br />I share your liking for religious art, though I guess your taste is better thatn mine - here in Poland, pilgrimages are very popular, and so are cheap souvenirs of them, which I unashamedly collect.<br /><br />My pride and joy, though not really objets d'art, are a luminous Crucifix and a Holy Water squirter, which bought as a child at Buckfast Abbey, UK.<br /><br />No it's not kitsch.<br /><br />I differ from you, only in that I think all Catholics should proudly display the badges of their Faith.Left-footerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18154175028539882422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456971920210651577.post-37717722334411901592010-09-01T09:23:09.307-05:002010-09-01T09:23:09.307-05:00Well, that's interesting.
