I rather suspect, regarding the humble ways of Jesus and his disciples, that the actual chalice was made on a potter's wheel and was long since broken in later usage... But common sense is not known to prevail in the fervor of highly organized religiosity.

Geckos a dominant theme?

I didn’t know this at the time, but the eight women represent the eight irrigation channels of the river.

The figure on top is the bust of Cervantes, being held up by his most famous character. According to my source, Don Quixote is standing upon a stack of books of chivalry.

French TV news on Friday Oct. 4th
Oviedo, Strong winds from Storm Ciaran continue to fuel an aggressive wildfire in the Spanish region of Valencia on Friday. The fast-moving flames have forced around 950 people in several nearby towns to evacuate their homes, police said Friday afternoon. Hundreds more people have been told to stay indoors due to the risk of smoke inhalation.
As Ciaran leaves Spain, the country’s meteorological agency warned that another powerful storm named Domingos is close behind.

By Saturday, the wind warnings in Valencia will lift, but on Sunday parts of the region will be under yellow alert for strong winds yet again.

And even bike racks!

I sort of thought this..my own (same sex) schooling for high school and even the first year of college!

Could well be-the wind has been brutally fierce the last few days.

Maybe they are huddled together to keep from getting blown over!

Yeah, I have watched how to videos now and then for years, but still always a mess. But very good, and highly nutritious!

Messy to prepare, but oh so yummy!

Nice one!
