whose foot?


This gold reliquary, in the church of
San Giovanni dei Fiorentini, in Rome,
holds the foot of Mary Magdalene . . .


or so they claim.  I guess you
just
have to take it on faith.

[Linking back to inSPIREd Sunday
and Shadow Shot Sunday.]

  1. I wonder if Mary objected to her foot's being separated from the rest of her body. Hmm.

  2. One sometimes finds odd things in churches, and this qualifies. Like your photo's abstract quality, perfect for the subject.

  4. That is a tall tail, no doubt made to get people to visit the church
