A Day of Old Hollywood Glamour

The Bags of Apricot Collection

ApricotI have a confession to make.  I have a weakness for purses.  Of all kinds.

Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus spake again to them.

And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified.  And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.  And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.  And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.  Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:

This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.  And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. Continue reading
