I have no intention of going into a religious discussion but, for me at least, (as an agnostic) it thrills me to see that in this day and age, some people still believe in the good faith of others.

Especially taking them from under the watchful eye of Mary would just seems wrong on so many levels. -LTB Report this Post to the Staff

Nevertheless this lady was blessed and again became a holder of her coins thanks to honest individuals. I would not try that a second time as tempting fate is begging for problems...
