Adventures in the Middle East

Saturday, October 28, 2006



One of the sights that we visited was the house where the Virgin Mary is reported to have lived out her last years. The house dates to the correct period and apparently there is some degree of consensus (at least according to our Turkish guide) that it was actually the house. There is a spring that comes out from under the house and produces honest-to-goodness, certified, pontifically-verified holy water. I mixed a little in with my glass of the local brew and I must say that it was quite tasty, one might even say Divine (although that would be going a little far). This is one mix that they don't have at the Saucer in Houston.

  • Ha, nice mixture. Good plan, too-- don't think you could have drunk the pure holy water without burning.
