Would someone please explain this image? A saint and a rooster battles Death and a dragon over a walled city? The calligraphy: M and W? Is that a rising sun or a setting sun behind the mountain? Thank you. I remember this one from the Carpathian Book of the Dead. |

Thank you.
Perhaps it is "a city upon a hill (Matthew 5:14)"? |

It's Gandalf and the Witch King of Angmar fighting in Minas Tirith.
I am being completely serious, it was on the Hyperdox Herman Facebook page a couple days ago.

"M" stands for "Mithrandir". "W" - for "Witch-king" propably. |

This sounds like wishful thinking. If there is a thread here about this, then, of course, it must be true. I only get a haircut once or twice a year, so this is an issue for me. |

Starting to feel like Christianity made God bi-polar. no, its just that there is more than 1 kind of wisdom also - Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves. These thoughts do not have opposite meaning, there is the wisdom of God and that of the world and lets not forget "The world is the general name for all passions. When we wish to call the passions by a common name, we call them the world. But when we wish to distinguish them by their special names, we call them passions --St. Isaac the Syrian, 7th Century |
