Description Arms nailed down,
are you tellin' me something?
Eyes turned out,
are you lookin' for someone?

This is the one thing,
the one thing that I know.

Blood-stained brow,
are you dying for nothing?
Flesh and blood,
is it so elemental?

This is the one thing,
the one thing that I know.

Blood-stained brow,
He wasn't broken for nothing.
Arms nailed down,
He didn't die for nothing.

This is the one thing,
the one thing that I know.

St. Patrick's Cathedral, Sept. 2002

Normally, I'd be bummed about turning 35 today...however it is Good Friday so there are more important things to focus on

Slight blur and colorization in Photoshop.

P.S. That's a great song above if you haven't heard it!
P.P.S. I sincerely hope dA v.3 lets us use apostrophes in the title

This madonna is a great sculpture. You took a good shot too

We have a Conforting Madonna in our local church too. But it's different. The marmor Madonna from your photo looks much more gracious.

What a beautiful statue. So dramatic! My only suggestion would be to have taken it from a slightly higher angle. But other than that the lighting and everything is perfect! Bravo!

This is a wonderfully expressive piece, with a statue speaking a 1,000 words while the photo creates a productive median!

I love how the shadow over Virgin Mary's face gives her a sad semblant.
You really captured the passion of Christ on this one.

Lovely for this time of the year.

Yes! We need apostrophes in titles!!

Marble sculptures are always just so stunning to look at. The amount of work that must've gone into a piece like this boggles the mind. The proportions of the sculpture are perfect.

The colouring of the photo works really well, too.

Yo happy birthday!!! 35... 7 x 5, seven and five are relatively prime. niceness

Yea just got back from services, touching stuff. Had a member speak about losing her sister on 9-11.

Jars of Clay has good stuff, Sonic Flood good too and Five Iron Frenzy.
