Metropolitan Museum of Art - Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300-1350 exhibit, New York, NY l.: Enthroned Virgin (Terracotta) by navtive Siena artist Goro Di Gregorio circa 1300-1334. Terracotta. r.: Head of Christ (Fragment of a Crucifix) by Lando Di Pietro circa 1280-1340. Woodcarving. The Head of Christ testifies to a miracle. Originally part of a life-sized crucifix, it survived an Allied aerial bombing raid outside Siena, Italy on 23 January, 1944 that struck the late 18th century Church of the Osservanza where it was displayed. Adding to the miracle, two pieces of an inscribed parchment by the artist also survived. They were discovered inside the remains of the badly damaged corpus that invited “the Virgin and numerous saints to join him in his supplication for mercy.”

Mamaroneck, NY Note: This daylight photo taken in the early evening features the planet Venus (white dot on the right). Every once in a while, when Venus' elongation is the greatest (furthest distance from the sun) and the sky is clear and free of haze, Venus can be seen with the naked eye during daylight hours. This has been occurring for the last few days since 9-10 January 2025 and the phenomena will soon end. Thus this ordinary photo is actually extraordinary.

[Unknown] [L] ove never dies. It endures and lives on forever… [1 Corinthians 13:7-8] [and] is… the only thing which God permits us to carry beyond the grave. [Theodore Dreiser]
