In search of the Holy Shroud of Torino, Part II, The River Po.

God must have a special predilection for the people of Turin. God gave them the Holy Shroud for safekeeping. But more than anything, God gave them the River Po.

 

 

Like all jewels, the River Po beautifies everything that comes within its vicinity. Even us human beings.

"The Po by day is like a shining bracelet..." 

 

"... and by night becomes a

necklace shimmering  in the

moonlight."

 

"The Po brings down the fresh

clear waters of the Alpine

glaciers..."

"...yet frolics in the muddy banks

of every town and city she

passes."

 

"The Po moves slowly, not

feebly, on her majestic parade

downstream..."

 

"...never stopping, and rarely

causing a commotion."

"The Po brings life to the

fields in her valleys..."

 

"...a good catch for happy fishermn..."

 

"...game for the passing bird..."

"...a perfect place for a young couple´s

first kiss..."

"...the ideal setting for a picture

for love ones far away..."

 

"...and like every loving mother,

asks nothing in return."
