This is certainly appropriate for the last sunny day! Hate it at the beach for me too, will you? I miss the ocean so much sometimes! Thanks for your kind comment.
Oh dear the Da Vinci code? Ugh. It's a novel, but it is based on some strange things that came up in the middle ages and then people who wanted to saw strange things in DaVinci's Last Supper fresco. If you look at my shots of it, what they say about John really being Mary Magdalene is false. Some people want to believe that Jesus was solely human and that he had a love affair with Mary Magdelene, my faith disputes that. I feel that if He is One with God and the Spirit, why would He want a s
a simple earthly affair? And there is nothing in the bible that supports that. The so-called DaVinci code is that DaVinci often painted characters, including John the Baptist, holding up one finger. People who only look at a portion of his religious works say that that means he believed John was the true Messiah, not Jesus.
But a review of good reproductions of those paintings and others show that he simply seemed to like that gesture. Here are the links for the DaVinci Last Supper, which is so damaged it can barely be seen (and cannot be restored as he was using experimental paints), and an early copy of it by an unknown artist which makes it much clearer . . .
