Old Door, La Alberca, Salamanca province. PLEASE STAY, DON'T RUN AWAY!!!

If you were not 100% catholic, in the days of the reconquista and after, it made sense to declare your undying adherence to the True Faith of the Winning Side by such means as these biblical extracts over your door!

Marvellous old door, if it could tell its story... It doesn't seem very high, does it?

Thank you Christa.
I don't recall the height but I think I would have remembered if it has seemed unusually low.

AVE PURISIMA..SIN PECADO CON CE VIDA???
If it´s right..what does it mean..and hey..another great part of your album Andy!!!

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Tanja - Loughcrew ^club

Hi Tanja.
I suppose (and I didn't learn Latin) it means;
Live this life with Purity and without Sin.
But I could be wrong!
Many thank and best wishes,
Andy

I'm not running away Andy....let's hope the door is not closed on us!! I really enjoy this site!

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

I never thought you would 'run away', Rosa.
But, sadly, some good names that we know have done so - I'm sure out of sheer frustration!
Maybe we might get some good news next week. Let's hope so!
All best wishes, Andy
