The Shrine that Survived the Reformation

The Tokharians are a real puzzle. Why a language close to Gaelic was spoken so many miles from Ireland is a mystery that will take some solving. Your name is, as you say, found in Umbria, but I think that the presence of Irish monks in various ...

Railway Man a Movie Review

Me too, I appreciated the Kidman performance in Australia. In fact, I cannot think of a film where she hasn't evidenced her talent and validated her appeal and her profession. This may seem a bit facetious, in comparison to such a dramatic film ...

The "children's mural" and the "easy kids stuff" are among what most delight and inspire me -- in terms of aesthetics-appreciating since I ain't no artist -- from the street art of the Kakaako neighborhood of Honolulu on Oahu island in Hawaii ...

The Shrine that Survived the Reformation

England's Nazareth: the shrine at Walsingham

This is somewhat related, because about the moniker fair, and somewhat not related because from a different place and time. The description fair manifested itself among French speakers around the time of Henry IV (Dec. 13, 1553-May 14, 1610) of ...
