From Sleepy Hollow, only pic I could get of it but I was reminded of the smudging on Miranda Richardson's mouth for Isobel? With pale lips it really stands out.

Brock's Bench Supplier
Received a referral from Brock's Facilities Management Department -they gave me the name of their bench supplier as Landscapeforms.
Home Depot and Rona's assemble-yourself benches were a bit disappointing.
Landscapeform's website can be found here.
Their designs may be a bit too modern and clean looking -however they may be made to look more 'Torontonian' with a bit of work.

Candelabra Significance
Catholic candelabras seem to hold symbolism in relation to the physical and spiritual manifestations of Christ.
Originally they are placed at the main altar during mass and at least 2 candles must be lit.
-The wax is the body of Christ (must be bee's traditionally)
-The wick is the soul of Christ
-The flame is the divinity of Christ
6 Candles seems to be the most common arrangement, however it isn't uncommon to find arrangements of 5, 7 or 9. The symbolic explanation to the numeration of the candles is still beyond me -difficult to find.
I will be looking into this further and posting an explanation once I do more research -as well as the nature behind the adjustable arms. I believe the arms when placed straight or angled downwards are used in mass to replicate a divine crucifix.
The Wise Faces of Portugal
Some images of elderly Portuguese woman -The one getting her face kissed was at one time (may still be?) the oldest woman in the world.
