I think it was directed toward the person who said, “if your hand offends thee, cut it off”.
Ivory Worship - Photo Gallery - Pictures, More From National Geographic Magazine
I saw this in the Nat Geo Mag this afternoon. I had seen a picture of Jesus with his middle finger sticking up. I have been unable to find it again. Then I saw this and realized how that might have happened.
This led me to think about the Shroud. Then I realized what I had been doing since the flood and recently may be part of its history. When I was flooded out of my apartment in C-2, Camelot 2000, I stuffed things down in front of my inside door to keep water from flowing under it.
Then yesterday I was at the Piazza and looked at a tapestry. I paid particular attention to the purple one, it is a spiritual color. Today it came to my attention the Shroud may have been damaged during one of the floods in Venice, Italy. Then I recalled what I was doing at my front door which I photographed. This was given to me by my sister and I have other similar things folded and in a large 100-200 gallon container in my closet. It is burgundy and I used it for draping behind some photographs. I also had it on my bed and I slept under it one winter.
Something also came up about the stigmata recently when I concluded one of the women thought to be possessed of the stigmata was really the object of a projection and the person projecting it was in possession of the true Christ.
I have six or three or four tubs I purchased for my feet but they have been used for other things and I suspect some plaster of paris was mixed in several of them.
