The parish where I normally attend 7:30 ...Sister, <br /><br />The parish where I normally attend 7:30 AM Mass decided to move it to noon during Lent, so I've been attending morning Mass at a different parish lately. <br /><br />They have a beautiful mural depicting about twenty saints gazing down upon the altar from the wall above. They're mostly 19th and 20th century saints with lots of nuns and priests, and the artist made it relatively easy to identify them. Saint Faustina's easy because she's holding the picture of the Divine Mercy. Saint Maximillian Kolbe is wearing prison garb. Saint Pio of Pietrelcina is wearing the brown habit of the Capuchins and the stigmata are easily visible. And Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton is easy to identify by the black bonnet she is so often depicted wearing. <br /><br />But there is one nun that baffles me. She is wearing the traditional habit, but she is holding what appears to be a platter inscribed with the Star of David. I've searched myself blue in the face on the Internet, but can't find any reference to a saintly nun whose symbol is a platter with the Star of David. <br /><br />Can you help? <br /><br />Joe PacuskaJoe Pacuskanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-52871503038468191462011-04-09T07:28:20.304-07:002011-04-09T07:28:20.304-07:00Sister, your image of the "sin pyramid" ...Sister, your image of the "sin pyramid" with consecrated religious toward the top...gave me pause.
