[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 139197, member: 1963"] I find "Jesus and Mary" dolls to be a bit creepy and I'm not even Christian. When husband and I bought our house, it came with one of those 'grotto style' shrines to the Virgin Mary in the front yard. We very carefully wrapped it up in a plastic and a tarp, put it on a handcart preparatory to hauling it back to our garage and a neighbor comes up and says, "Hey! What are you doing with Mary?!" (husband said later he almost told her he was kidnapping her to hold for ransom but managed to be good) That old house was full of crosses, praying hands, holy cards, all sorts of stuff (the previous owner had been a former nun). The priest of our parish stopped by to make a welcome visit and husband came right out and said, "We're not Christian, let alone Catholic, but we've got an awful lot of stuff that was left in the house. Do you have any idea who could dispose of it for us in a respectful manner?" The church sent two guys with a van over to pick up Mary and the smaller stuff the following Saturday. As a funnier sidelight; there was a cold water pipe in the basement that had an enormous nun's rosary and crucifix wrapped around the joints. We unwound it and put it aside...the pipe burst three days later! [/QUOTE]
