Notice the two fish in the mosaic. The fish was an early symbol of the Christian faith. Each letter in the Greek word for "fish" became the first letter of the following five words: Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. Posted by Picasa

A Kingfisher in Narnia

In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, author C.S. Lewis writes that the "Beavers and the children were walking on hour after hour into what seemed a delicious dream." The snow was melting in Narnia; Spring was arriving. In the first paragraph of chapter 12, the children had seen so many signs of Spring that they stopped saying, "Look! there's a kingfisher..." Quite a beautiful bird, isn't it? Posted by Picasa
