Hebrews 10.24-25
We are all very familiar with the fish symbol below in all its many forms. But this shape is NOT the one in the video!
This site has more to say about the symbol that is scratched into the stones at Ephesus. There is a story that the shape scratched into the stones was used to play a game called tabla. What a wonderful way to spread the story of Jesus throughout the Roman Empire - if the story were true...
Jesu, joy of my desiring (Voces 8)
Alleluia alleluia for the Lord God Almighty reigns

I haven't been inside a shopping mall for years (think Covid!). My appetite for 'materialistic culture' has been partially satisfied by on-line shopping. However there is nothing to beat going round the shops, touching the real good rather than relying on pictures and description.

Locus iste a Deo factus est, inaestimabile
sacramentum irreprehensibilis est.
This place is made by God, inestimably
sacred, irreprehensible.
