From my penpal Leeba. The church is on the Mount of Olives and is said to have a piece of stone on which Jesus prayed before he got arrested.
My scanner did not recognize the top and bottom black portions of this card so it looks out of proportion here. I purchased this card, by monk/artist Robert Lentz, because I’m fascinated by the tale of Assisi. The story goes that the Icon of Christ Crucified came alive and said to him three times, “Francis, Francis, go and repair My house which, as you can see, is falling into ruins.” (Thanks to Wikipedia for that quote!)
The Blessed Cathedral, Moscow–so beautiful! From a round robin 🙂
From a round robin; I am sorry my scanner could not recognize the top or left side border, which is why this looks like a poor scan–which it is 🙂
This lovely card is from an organized swap–would love to ride this rail! 🙂
