    I like seeing how other cultures represent the Divine. Somehow, they always make It look a little like themselves. :)

    In a similar vein, I’ve got a paper-mâché Christmas ornament from Japan that someone gave me many years ago. It’s a little Santa Clause figure, with distinctly Asian eyes.

    That sounds neat! Maybe you can post a pic of it at Christmas time?

    I was looking for the different Madonnas when I found this nun’s work. Somebody from CA was looking for it, so I decided to repost… :)
