    i know he's the patron saint of cripples and various other kinds of undesirables (the list seems to vary). i've got this cool old shadow box and i was thinking of making a shrine.

    it's been 3 years, but i've finally found a suitable frame for my st. giles shrine. i'll lift a painting of st. giles from the web. around it i'll arrange pictures of other crippled family members.

    i still don't believe in god, but there's something about the ritual of faith that appeals to me.

    I'm sorry I didn't answer you in 2005. I didn't have regular internet access then.

    i think you emailed me. you weren't a wealth of information, but it didn't matter.

    i'm having a hard time finding a suitable picture of st. giles online. i may have to start searching the catholic bookstores around ft. worth.

    Have you tried using the French spelling (Gilles)?

By droopy on Thursday, September 4, 2008 - 09:18 pm:

    yup. as a matter of fact, the picture i want to use - this one - is by maitre de st. gilles (master of st. giles). i just can't find one that's the right size and clarity.
