I wonder what today's conservative/transphobes would think of this "baby jesus" very much in drag...
Legend has it that it was a "taking jesus" with whom one of the nuns of the convent had long conversations.

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”
― Mark Twain

Us Between Two Realms 
Like in all #Nordic cultures, swamps used to be sacred places - places where underworld connected to the land of living. They where places where you would show respect, bring offerings and maybe even mourn the loss of loved ones.
While I was working on this, I kept thinking how fragile the line is that separates these two worlds - and us. One day we are here, standing on a piece of land, never knowing when we cross to the other side.

Well, at least it's not Fish(or Snake) Oil:
Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product contains fish oil.
Fact: “Consumers have told us over the years that they have caught some of the biggest fish ever after protecting their fishhooks and lures with WD-40 Multi-Use Product. We believe this legend came from folks assuming that the product must contain fish oil, since it appears to attract fish. Sorry, Charlie®, it just ain’t so.”

A fjord so still it could reflect the thoughts you hide from yourself. The light at the horizon teases you, suggests movement, promises revelation—but gives none. Go on then, take a step forward. You’ll find the silence isn’t empty. #photography #myths&legends #photo #light #fjord
In the myth of Sleeping Beauty, the earth-goddess sinks into her long winter sleep, pricked by winter’s sharp thorn. All is locked in icy repose. Naught thrives save the ivy defying the cold, till the kiss of the golden-haired sun-god stirs a reawakened life.

The Gargoyles' Eclipse

Explanation:
In dramatic silhouette against a cloudy daytime sky over Paris, France, gargoyles cast their monstrous gaze outward from the west facade of Notre Dame Cathedral. Taken on March 29, this telephoto snapshot also captures the dramatic silhouette of a New Moon against the bright solar disk in a partial solar eclipse. Happening high in Parisian skies, the partial eclipse was close to its maximum phase of about 23 percent. Occurring near the end of the first eclipse season of 2025, this partial solar eclipse followed the total eclipse of the Full Moon on March 13/14. The upcoming second eclipse season of 2025 will see a total lunar eclipse on September 7/8 and partial solar eclipse on September 21. The partial solar eclipse will be seen only from locations in planet Earth's southern hemisphere.

it's, frankly, rude that one of the COVID variants was called "Centaurus."
Why?
Because Centaurus (the #constellation) is #Chiron -- and Chiron is the wise, just centaur who the #mythological inventor of medicine & surgery.
And thus the rudeness
