SUPERSTITION
THERE IS THE BELIEF IN QUEBEC, CANADA, THAT THE STATUE ON THE CHURCH
OF STE. ANNE DE BEAUPRE IS INCAPABLE OF BURNING DESPITE THE
FACT THAT IT IS MADE UP OF WOOD AND WOOD IS EASILY BURNED.
THIS IS SAID
TO BE A MIRACULOUS POWER AND THAT NOT EVEN THE FIERY POWERS OF SATAN
HIMSELF COULD DESTROY, HURT OR MUTILATE THIS HOLY STATUE.

SAGINAW SAWDUST
IF YOU GO DOWN 30 FEET BELOW GENESSEE STREET IN SAGINAW, MICHIGAN
YOU WILL HIT SAWDUST. THE TOWN WAS BUILT IN A SWAMP, AND SO THEY
USED SAWDUST AND BARK AS A FOUNDATION TO MAKE THE PLACE LESS
SWAMPY. IT WAS A LUMBERING TOWN, AND HAD LOTS OF SAWMILLS.
THE SIDEWALKS WERE BUILT ON STILTS, AND MS. BOW WAS TOLD BY
HER GRANDPA MANY STORIES OF LIFE IN SAGINAW AROUND 1880 TO 1900.
Submitter comment:
MS. BOW HAS A VERY LACONICAL STYLE OF DELIVERY OF THESE STORIES.
I WAS GETTING MORE AND MORE EXCITED AS SHE TOLD THEM TO ME.

UKRAINIAN WOOD CARVING
MANY ARTICLES ARE DECORATIVELY CARVED FROM WOOD BY A
GROUP OF UKRAINIANS CALLED HUTSULS. VARIOUS GEOMETRIC
SHAPES ARE CAREFULLY CHISELED INTO THE WOOD. SOME OF THE
SYMBOLS USED IN EASTER EGG ART ARE USED IN THE WOOD CARVING.
THIS DECORATIVE CARVED WOOD APPEARS AS PLATES, FANCY
WOODEN CONTAINERS WITH COVERS, CANDLESTICKS, AND JEWELRY
SUCH AS BEADS, BROOCHES, AND BRACELETS. SOMETIMES THE
CARVED WOOD IS IMPLANTED WITH COLORFUL GLASS BEADS TO
ACCENTUATE THE VARIOUS SHAPES AND DESIGNS.
Submitter comment:
MANY UKRAINIAN-AMERICAN FAMILIES REQUEST THESE ITEMS
FROM FAMILY MEMBERS STILL IN THE UKRAINE. THEY ADD THESE
ITEMS TO THEIR OWN COLLECTIONS OR GIVE THEM AS GIFTS FOR
VERY SPECIAL OCCASIONS.

My parents bought a statue at a little market in Aruba.
There, it is customary to carry on the tradition of carving.
Ours is a black lady wearing a turban on her head with her
eyes closed. She is made out of mahogany. She looks so
peaceful that we wonder if she isn't a goddess to the
people in Aruba.
