Any Guesses on This?
Catholic, Shrines June 14th, 2005
I’ve included this picture as a preview to an essay I’m going to write about a recent visit to a shrine. Can anyone guess what this is a picture of? Look inside the cross. Of course, it’s a rock. However, what is the significance of the rock and where is it from? And this blog entry is not open to siblings, their girlfriends, or my fiancee! They already know. Anyone else have a guess?

It looks like a book, a bible? made of stone and set inside a tree? I don’t know.

saint peter,s shrine?
btwm i spent a few hours earlier this week in the shrine of the immaculate conception/the national basilica
it is a WOW experience, especially in the crypt chapel
anyone who thinks that catholics don’t honor women should just walk the semi circle around the altar in the crypt. there are beautiful niches to honor all the women saints mentioned in the roman canon - agatha, perpetua, anastastia, felicity, and so on.
