Catholic Culture: the Street Shrine

Reminds one of an alpine shrine at the entrance of a European village.  In Catholic countries such little shrines can be seen and this is Catholic culture.  Especially nice ones can be seen in places like: Italy, Bavaria, Lebanon, Greece, etc.  Consider such a little shrine in your back yard, or on your acreage.

  3. I notice that Our Blessed Lord, whose priesthood predates the invention of the pectoral cross, wears His stole crossed.
