A look at this year's two 🎄 Christmas stamps of the 🇻🇦 Vatican.
For a lighter touch I LOVE the Looney-Tunes-y touch on Fra Angelico's depiction of Christ's descent into Hell. The demon squashed under the door!!
And of course, the mosaic - with Pope Honorius III (appr. 1220) representing himself as a turtle-like tiny sinner at Christ's feet 😁
Some of my newer followers might not know about my children's book DUBBIE (the adventures of a little double-headed eagle)
Here's a WONDERFUL review about it from the blog Clerylibrary. Thanks, clery, whoever you are

Today is the Feast of Annunciation! I'm not always one for more modern church art but I LOVE this #Annunciation by 🇭🇺 Hungarian artist Peter Prokop (wall of the chapel in Via Giulia)
Holy Saturday. According to Tradition Christ descended to Hell, opened the gates and freed the path back to Heaven for the Just of the Old Testament.
Fra' Angelico painted this splendidly- and added a brilliant, Looney Tunes-y detail ...😁 poor li'l demon...
