For Catholics, today (August 15) is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Out in Teaneck, New Jersey, my old college buddy Anthony Santella is doing a large scale carving of Mary out of the trunk of a dead softwood tree on the grounds of St. Anastasia Church.
Here are some images of the work in progress:
Also (via Fran on Facebook): Karl Rahner on the Assumption of Mary.

That is beautiful! If I am correct, I recall seeing your friend Anthony's work not only online, via your blog, but at the art that was in place at St. Paul's when Sue and I came to visit a few years ago.
Beautiful...
