    A couple of days ago, evangelical Chinese and Turkish researchers, from a group called Noah's Ark Ministries International, claimed they have found the remains of Noah's Ark near its Biblical resting place in Turkey, on Mount Ararat.

    Leaders of the expedition said that they are "99.9 percent" that a wooden structure found on the mountainside was part of a ship that housed the Biblical Noah, his family and a menagerie of creatures during a giant flood 4,800 years ago.

    The Shroud of Turin is a blood-stained linen cloth that many of the faithful believe was the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, but questions on the shroud's authenticity have been raised for centuries.

    Today is Good Friday, one of the holiest days of the Christian calendar. The holiest of holy days of course is Easter Sunday, the Day of the Resurrection. Although, the Bible tells us that Mother Mary was present at both events, and there are many works of art, descriptions in literature and illustrations in sculpture and paintings showing her at the cross and at the entombment, remembrance of the The Virgin Mary is more associated with the Christmas season and with Christ's Birth than with the  Easter season and His Death and the Resurrection.   Well, Mother Mary  did play a major role during the first event and a secondary one during the latter. Any how, today,  CBS News has a video titled, "Virgin Mary Image In A Bathroom.". It is a video of a  New Mexico homeowner, whom says that she  could not believe her own eyes, when she noticed a holy image of the Virgin Mary  in the marble above her bathtub. The video is posted below.
