...the sun dances of joy on Whitsunday
Cutting a sunbeam, by Adam Diston, 1886
Very early on Pentecost morning/Whitsunday you may see
some Danes on their way to the sea to see the sun dance – as though
out of joy at the coming
of the Holy Spirit

These scalloped-edge mittens are everything a
fingerless mitten should be:
light, warm, soft, beautiful. They
feel great on, absolutely no bulk or
scratch. These are truly a mitten
you can live in. These hand knit mittens are made of super fine yarn
that is a blend of 80% merino wool and 20% nylon. The
nylon
adds strength and allows the mittens to be
machine washed, a real plus

Andria Hagstrom hand knit this cowl out of superfine
merino wool that is amazingly soft and luxurious. It drapes
beautifully and feels light and warm around the neck. It is
comfortable enough to
wear right up against the skin
without any hint of itch or scratch.

A portrait by Lucas de Heere (ca. 1534-84)
Att. to Lucas de Heere (ca. 1534-84):
'Triple Profile Portrait', ca. 1570
This stunning and unusual portrait is not as it appears.
The figures
outfitted in fashionable costume are men-not women.
Adding to the
painting's intrigue, scholars have only recently attributed the
work to
Lucas de Heere, a Netherlandish painter who worked in Paris and
at Fontainebleau between 1559 and 1561, and in London after 1567.
Research suggests that the sitters may, in fact, be the minions -
or boyfriends -
of French King Henry III (1551-1589)

thieves. The Crown of Thorns. The whip(s), in Germany often birches, used
for the 39 lashes.The Holy Sponge set on a reed, with which gall and
vinegar were offered to Jesus. The Holy Lance with which a
Roman soldier inflicted the final of the Five Wounds in
his side.The Nails, inflicting four wounds
on the hands and feet, etc.

An image of the 'Arma Christi',
divided into a series of 38 compartments,
each of which depicts an
instrument of the passion or some other object or
event emblematic of
the passion - the hammer, the cock that crew
three times, the dice, the
pelican, the wound in Christ's side,
and so forth. The text declares that whoever recites the
prayer 'Ave facies praeclara'
