Roadside grottos in Ireland
Of the Catholic countries I have visited, Irelands roadside
Christian imagery is the most striking They usually seem to have three figures, Christ on the cross and two women, one standing, one kneeling in adoration. I assume the standing figure represents Mary, who is the kneeling figure? Martha? -- Mike Reid If god wanted us to be vegetarians he wouldn't have made animals out of meat.

Depending on which Mary you assumed. -- PB The return address has been MUNGED |

Following up to Padraig Breathnach
They usually seem to have three figures, Christ on the cross and two women, one standing, one kneeling in adoration. I assume the standing figure represents Mary, who is the kneeling figure? Martha? The other Mary. Magdalene. Or the other Mary. His mother. Depending on which Mary you assumed. Errr, I think I was thinking Mary, his mother, standing. (I can see i'm going to get rapidly out of my depth). So the kneeling Mary is Mary Magdalene and the standing Mary, the Virgin Mary? -- Mike Reid If god wanted us to be vegetarians he wouldn't have made animals out of meat.
