Spiritual - "The sacred image, the liturgical icon, principally represents Christ. It cannot represent the invisible and incomprehensible God, but the incarnation of the Son of God ... Christian iconography expresses in images the same Gospel message that Scripture communicates by words. All the signs in the liturgical celebrations are related to Christ; as are sacred images of the holy Mother of God and of the saints as well. They truly signify Christ, who is glorified in them. They make manifest the 'cloud of witnesses' who continue to participate in the salvation of the world and to whom we are united, above all in sacramental celebrations."

Sewing - Saturday was Perkala's 2nd Annual Outdoor Market. Perkala is owned by Donna and Ben Soileau of Ville Platte and is located on the corner of LaSalle and Coreil Street. It is an espresso bar, antique, and gift shop. They started this event last year to celebrate and promote the artists and craftsmen that sell in their shop and who live around the area. There were 20 vendors this year who brought their art/crafts and set up shop outside for the morning.
There was plenty of snacks, coffee, tea, and entertainment. This year we were entertained by an Elvis impersonator, a harpist, and Father Mario playing his fiddle. I was so busy with my stuff and visiting with all my Ville Platte friends that I was only able to get just a few pictures to share. The day was beautiful and we all had lots of fun. I think we are all looking forward to next year!
Lovely photos! I am especially fond of those gorgeous bonnets!
