St. Rosa Cemetery
Like a lot of the Catholic Churches in The Land of the Cross Tipped Churches -- Saint Rose has a cemetery. I have been trying for quite some time now to get a picture of the old style arch that graces the entrance that I liked. This is the best one so far.

Third Nail
The third nail had to be driven through both feet, which were turned outward so the nail could be hammered inside the Achilles tendon. With His knees slightly flexed Jesus was now crucified. As He slowly sagged down, He would have tried to support His weight with the muscles of His legs, an impossible position to maintain. In some cases, the victims' legs were broken, so that they couldn't support themselves in this way. Eventually more and more weight was placed upon the nails. The method the Romans had perfected ensured that crucifixion victims would hang painfully until their diaphragm went into spasm and they literally suffocated to death.

Blessed With Child II
This is the original I wanted to post but for some reason was not able to get the picture to load at the time.

A Child is Born
Now out of the night
New as the dawn into the light
Oh this child, innocent child,Soft as a fawn
This child is born
One small heart
One pair of eyes
One work of art
Here in my arms
Here he lies
Trusting and warm
Blessed this bond
