seven swords

Sardinian trapassadu - passed through
The Latin roots of the word trespass are trans and passus, "to pass through".
​Sardinian developed from Vulgar Latin, a variety of Latin spoken in the late Roman Republic.

Seven swords​

• The prophecy of Simeon
• The flight into Egypt
• Loss of the Child Jesus for three days at the temple
• Mary meets Jesus on His way to Calvary
• Crucifixion and Death of Jesus
• The body of Jesus is taken from the Cross
• The burial of Jesus

The left forearm is almost transparent, hinting that through death and walls He will pass through. Without breaking her virginity, wherein the walls of her womb, He had passed through.

Jesus dies in the 33rd year of His era. It is thought that Mary died in the 47th year of her Son's era. Tradition holds that she died out of love, 14 years after her Son. Artists through time have chosen to enfold her virginity. Of course, we know she received Him in Holy Communion.

​Catholicism is a physical (body) and spiritual (soul) religion. Unfortunately, Puritanism tainted America and rubbed off on American Catholicism.

In Spain, people exchange copious amounts of affection. American Catholics have forgotten that Judas kissed Jesus on the cheek, as was the custom, one sadly we have lost.
