Fabulous Finds

I went in here the other day and was mesmerized by the array of statues and religious paraphernalia they have here. «C’mon, let’s go,» said my friend Jon. But I had lost my St. Dymphna medal the previous day. Yes, they had a display card with little aluminum saint medals. They also had a sterling silver St. Dymphna for $ 9.00, which isn’t too bad. (St. Dymphna is the patron saint of the mentally ill.)
The aluminum were only a dollar. «Make that one – no, two,» I said.
What struck me most when we first walked in were the «holy goalie» statues – all sorts of plaster and resin saints standing in arches. Fabulous Finds will be worth getting back to; oh, and my other reflection was that Catholicism is the most pagan religion of them all. Graven images, my foot.
