Big day for Little Eva - #829

Image removed at the request of the parents


Why is it that "The Locomotion" always springs to mind when I think of Eva, Mrs jb's great-niece?

Big day yesterday with 4 generations gathering for the christening in the church in Elsig.

Not that she noticed, of course.

Slept all the way through it.

Not a murmur, even when she got doused 3 times...

Note: The mural paintings date back to the 14th century and were discovered under multiple coats of paint in the 1950s and restored with vary degrees of skill (Hammer, chisel, oil-based paint....?). 

Later restorations were performed with somewhat less brute force

Are the parents or godparents holding the baby? Oh, they're so young!! But, would I want to go through that again? I think I'm enjoying my freedom too much!

I'm pleased that you pointed out the murals and by maxing the photo, I got a good look. Wonderful discovery!
