I don't remember that time capsule being opened either. There are usually a bunch of sinister looking crows perched on it, though.

I personally think of her as the Blessed Virgin Mary Poppins, Holy Nanny of Jesus, so rendering her in stained glass is highly appropriate. At least to me.

(The "TIME CAPSULE") I heard from a schyzophrenic guy in 1996 that the sculpture depicts the whore of Babylon from the Book of Revelations and that it indeed contains a time capsule underneath with a bunch of christian "artifacts". I'd like to believe the pschyzophrenic. I'm not a biblical expert so if there are any of you readers that are well versed on "The Rapture" or even Omen movie aficionados, please explain this. Your own interpretations are ok. Speaking in tongues will be allowed only in this comment stream. Losanjealous eagerly awaits the 411.
