santa spirito

29 perfect degree's     
We, and the rest of Florence, were out to enjoy

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture.   Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine.

And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time
