my coins are with thee,
trusted art thou with my life's savings,
and blessed is this pile of leave under which it is hidden.
Holy Mary, high rolling mother of God, pray for big winnings now and until I get back from Vegas next week.
Amen.

If they're going to stuff dollars in things, wouldn't this be a better bet?

The money is a donation to the church basically (or perhaps the specific order associated with the saint?)

A few years ago I was in Spain while their were a lot of these events going on and at one point I asked about it. I was told the saint was Pilar, but I had no idea who that was. Apparently it is a Spanish tradition that the Virgin Mary dragged a pillar from the Holy Land to Spain to spread the gospel. And that gets a few parades.
As a child, I was always taken to the beach on the Feast of the Assumption because the waters were suppose to have healing properties on that day. Its apparently a tradition from the West of Ireland.

I wish I'd been around for more of the bulk of the conversation, but I was having dinner with my mom next to a girl who was flashing us (see story in open thread).
Again, thanks!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, that life is hard enough as it is and if people can find comfort in something that helps them get through it, then good for them. I wouldn't want to take that away from anyone.

I recently came to the realization that I celebrate Christmas as little more than a cultural exercise. I like the music, the food and the pretty ornaments on the tree. But the religious meaning behind it is lost to me anymore. When I came to that epiphany, I was so sad, like part of my childhood was gone forever.
So long story short-too late!-I can relate.
