Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

Necropolis of the Parking Garage


Check out the news story about “the Vatican’s Pagan Cemetery” from Newsweek International Edition: Pagan Graves in Vatican Basement!

My favorite sentence in the article:

“The Necropoli dell’Autoparco (literally Necropolis of the Parking Garage), a 2,000-year-old burial ground, which opens to the public Oct. 20, offers a rarely seen glimpse of the close ties between pagans and Christians during the Augustan era (23 B.C.-14 A.D.).”

Necropolis of the Parking Garage sounds like a wonderfully horrible Ed Wood movie. :o)

"The close ties between pagans and Christians during the Augustan era (23 B.C.-14 A.D.)"

That's some trick, considering there weren't any Christians till about 30 AD!
