A Jewess on Jesus: Why Would The Church Show Virgin Mary’s Breast
Even as a Jew I’ve been to my fair share of churches. I’ve visited the holy Vatican, the unique Sagrada Familia and the austere Norte Dame. I was even lucky enough to touch a vial of Christ’s blood in Brussels. And I have to admit, I am always a little intimidated by the architecture and…

Cultural Figure of the Week: Pheidippides

Why do Sculptures Have Small Cultures?
David: big statue, little culture. I pity ancient Greek and Roman women because it looks like their men were not particularly well endowed.
