Seattle Light of Love

A few weeks ago Ryan and I took a trip to Tacoma to visit some family. Since I had never gone to Seattle (after living in the Pacific NW for 5 years!) we decided to take the ultimate tourist-y day trip to the city. No tiny shops. No independent art galleries. That's right, I'm talking about Pike Place Market, the SAM, and the Space Needle!

I want to live in this room.

I do love reliquaries.

Medieval viewers were so outraged at the two men scourging Jesus that they scratched the eyes from the figures' heads.

After conducting lengthy research about Medieval retables and devotional altarpieces, I found the above triptych of particular interest.

A most glorious day, indeed.
