Jun. 17th, 2006 03:26 pmThis is an icon of "dancing saints" at the entrance of the Episcopalian Parish church of St.Gregory of Nyssa (a great Doctor of the Church, who is turning in his grave):
The "saints" in question are Sojourner Truth, Bartolome de Las Casas, Miriam, Origen , Malcolm X, Queen Elizabeth I, Iqbal Masih, and... get this... St. Teresa of Avila.
Anyone who knows anything about the history of the Church can draw his or her own conclusions. Anyone who is puzzled, ask me. At present, I would rather not say anything more, except that things like this make satire helpless and redundant.
