The second paragraph under your fourth subheading, What comes to your mind?

Our Lady's House at Ephesus
The Greek word τέκτων has been coming to mind lately as I ponder non-wood versus wood construction.
There's somewhat of an array of possible translations. Why is it that we think of Jesus Christ and Saint Joseph as carpenters? And would the ...

Snow White and Its Symbols
The ninth symbol, Shoes, is intriguing.
The first paragraph mentions that children "in most cases" put on no shoes, something allowable only when feet stopped growing.
Would the few exceptions involve children of the elite, of the money- and ...

Our Lady's House at Ephesus
Your next-to-last paragraph mentions a status of Our Lady Mary.
Was there any tradition as to what materials any statues to her or to her (retiring) husband or to her (even famouser) Son would be made of?
