JC in NY

On this feast of Saint Jerome, the patron saint of biblical scholarship--and recalling that even the devil himself has been known to quote the scriptures--it seemed exceedingly appropriate that my dear friend Ximena should send me this picture she took on a NYC subway:


Saint Jerome once famously wrote, "Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ."  Clearly, Jesus was not a New Yorker...but neither can New Yorkers ignore him these days!  Ha!
