ATTENTION READERS !
Mea culpa--I am guilty of a big mistake in yesterday's post and offer my apology to you and to the Ecole Biblique. I assumed that the burials in the crypt were of people's ashes. NOT true! It is the normal burial (of a body in a casket) of deceased Brothers.
The text following my photo of the crypt has been duly corrected.
Professor Strugnell's ashes, brought from America, are the only ashes.
Dina, Dina, why did you assume something without checking the facts?
I had never seen multi-story burial. I have much to learn . . .
Sincere thanks to Fr. Jean-Michel de Tarragon of the Ecole for pointing out my error, and (mercifully) in a kind and friendly manner. Thank God for teachers such as he.

Hi Dina! Mistakes we all make and anyhow I'm learning a lot here!!!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile Blogtrotter (not me, I’m stuck here ;)) is profiting from the holidays in Lisbon this week and has a tour of Lake Galve, one of the beautiful lakes near Trakai, to show you! Hope you enjoy and have a great week!
See? This is why I come a day late. I get to read it as corrected. Dina, Dina, don't be too hard on yourself. You brought this story to light and Fr. Jean-Michel de Tarragon, who sounds like a very interesting guy, was kind enough to enlighten us even further. How can that be anything but good?
ReplyDeleteErrare humanum est. ;-)
ReplyDeleteDina your posts flow with so much beauty and spirituality and historical fact and this post is evidence that your research is sound and that you are concerned with accuracy.
ReplyDeleteTHANKYOU

You are a guide that I trust!
ReplyDeleteYou made a good assumption for two reasons - no harm since you immediately shared your enlightenment with us.
You are a gem, Sistah!

I suppose this is important information for those about to bury somebody but for a blog and readers from all over the world. Who really knows which is what for where? LOL
ReplyDeleteI do understand getting it right.
See: Our Flower Pot.
Thing about the net is there is always someone out there to correct you. I took a closer look at the urn. It's shards that have been glued together. Bet theres a story.
ReplyDeleteNever mind! I enjoyed seeing the photos! Very interesting post Dina!
ReplyDelete"To err is human, to forgive is divine", so the saying I learned in high school.
ReplyDeleteI will come back to read more!
Understanding is all we need, not judgment.
Humility is a great virtue!
Good day to you Madam.
