Of thoughts and dreams that scatter

I wasn’t exactly paying attention when this was being explained so now, it’s just some kind of complicated clock!

kostel Sv. Jakuba Vetsiho (Large Church of St. James)

Above is a photo of “a mumified forearm more than 400 years old hanging on the right of the entrance. It belonged to a thief who tried to steel some jewels from the Madonna on the high altar one night. But the Madonna grapped his hand and didn’t want to let it go. The thief had to wait there until the next morning. The next day, when the Minorites came to the Church, they tried to separate the thief from the Madonna, but in vain. They had to cut his arm. Then the Madonna let the hand go. The monks hung the arm to remember this event and as a warning for other thieves.”

Pretty darn creepy!
