[Leica] PESO 10 01 17

[Douglas Barry]

Padre Pio and Francis of Assisi, both Italian saints, so the bearers 
must be Italian.

I had an elderly spinster relative who was very devout and a great 
devotee of Padre Pio. She regularly made pilgrimages to Italy to see his 
shrine at San Giovanni Rotondo, and she was so dedicated to him, I half 
expected to see her develop the stigmata. She didn't.

When she died, I removed thirty seven black bags of religious objects 
from her house before it could be sold. She had everything from a pope's 
zucchetto to a piece of the true cross. I rang her local priest to ask 
if he, or the church, wanted them. "Burn them" he replied. I kept the 
zucchetto as it might be handy at some stage. It belonged to Pius X 
which is not a catholic iPhone.
