No other woman has been as exalted. For centuries, pilgrims have journeyd to shrines worldwide devoted to the Virgin Mary, praying for her intercession with Jesus to cure disease or heartbreak. How was Mary, who Pope Francis calls his ‘mama’, accorded such power?
Look no further than the Biblical miracle of the wine.

Rodents or superheroes? You’ve heard of famous aerialists, daredevils, Flying Wallendas, Niagara divers. But what about the parachuting beavers of Idaho?

Today’s Soundtrack: I Was Made For Sunny Days, The Weepies
Bonus track: Better Days, Fountains of Wayne, Conan O’Brien
Correction: Alert reader Judy Chan noted that we had overstated the size of a giraffe’s tongue in our Sunday Photo of the Week newsletter, which led with this terrific feature on the wild Serengeti. An adult giraffe’s tongue can reach 20 inches long, which seems long enough! Thanks for the eagle eyes, Judy! |
