#you can almost smell the incense swirling around her #you know some apocrypha talk about how mary was so pure that she wove the veil for the temple #you know the one that rent open when her son died #which is obviously balderdash but in a deeper sense true #because she did weave the organic fleshy tapestry that kept the presence of god demarcated within this mortal plane #which was really the liturgical purpose of the temple veil anyway #body breaks; veil breaks #of course they do because they’re the same thing (tags by @truefactsaboutlies)
