My Mother's Religious Paraphernalia Part 4 - Her Bedroom

Happy Good Friday!

Our last stop is my mother's bedroom. Here are a few items that are on her chest of drawers.

The Pieta in Giant Hands

This item my mother purchased of the Pope John Paul II after he died and it contains a rosary. I think she bought it when she was in Italy, but I am not 100% sure.

Pope John Paul II Rosary Container

The following item is a picture that hangs over my parent's bed.

Mary and baby Jesus

The final stop is the dresser. An abundance of religious items can be found here. This item here is an angel paperweight and on the rock it is inscribed, "Each day is God's Master Piece". I think someone gave this to my mother as a gift.

Angel Paperweight

This item is another gift given to my mother for her birthday from someone in her parish. My mother's birthstone is the amethyst. Mine is a garnet if any suitors are interested in purchasing me jewerly.

Crucified Jesus on amethyst with angel

Here is a giant Mary. It has been rumoured she had a growth spurt after Jesus' crucification. After her growth spurt, she was now physically able to hold the cross of the crucified Jesus.

And here's the standard Bible.

St. Anthony

Finally, you can't call yourself a Catholic unless you actually possess Holy Water, which is water blessed by a priest.

This four part series of my mother's religious paraphernalia has been concluded. She has no idea that I keep a blog (as she is technically clueless and probably has never heard of the term, 'blog') and that I have publicly posted these pictures. All pictures have been put up for innocent amusement and no maliciousness was intended.
All jokes made towards Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and any other religious entity has been approved by God.
