Beyond being A Sacred Honorific the T-Shirt is Imbued With His Wife's Spirit # 17-23
There I am still thinking, looking for clues. Once I was home on my computer, back turned for. The door in my apartment in Spanish Harlem. A man entered with a gun drawn. I got up and slowly turn towards him. I was wearing a T-shirt with the honorific image of the crucifixion. He looked at the Jesus crucified on me and went some place deep. Then he looked at me and said the best he could I. A kind voice,"have a good day and left". I didn't understand it at first. Standing here looking at Roberto holding the horrific T shirt in honor in his wife gave me a good clue.
Just imagine the t shirt worn close to his heart, his living soul, his spirit connecting with his wife. After all he's been waiting seven years to date for a time to come when his ashes will be mixed with hers. And then what.
A simple act of the holy cross being a being a sacred honorific symbol, and is imbued with a Catholic shield of protection.(Here a soldier breaks bread an reenacts the last supper while the clips of his weapon hang from the cross) http://www.fotocommunity.com/pc/pc/extra/egallery/pcat/714247/display/26602764
Indigenous religion overlaid with six hounded years of Catholicism,The jester and the dolls go back to pre-christian times. and the body in the casket goes back to the Jesuits. The act . So you have their religion which have images getting mapped on top of christianity to teach. In small isolated pockets , these practices have not faded away., In fact they are very real. I once witnessed at San Xavier mission Tucson Arizona on midnight, Old Popago Indigenous women lined up with dolls taking their turn by the glass Casket of a Saint showing the likeness of their doll to the the Saint and to a casket of Christ with hand gestures, that seems so exact to the Nun’s or Priest hands in the act of blessings.

This strange man really lives outside of reality. He created his own universe, where his soul communicates with the long-dead woman he loves ...His naive childlike faith helps him to survive in his loneliness...
Oh, what a wise story you are telling us!
