True, but we ...well, things have been rearranged...but we did have a sticky to help with that. Plus, it's just not necessary to post it on every single forum, etc.

Mystery solved! I found the original painting that the chalice comes from. It's by Sebastiano Conca, an Italian painter. It was done in 1746. It is called "Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane". As I suspected, it portrays Christ being visited by an angel prior to his arrest and crucifixion, right after the last supper.

I found it here:

It is also here:

It is a perfect match. The blue coloration must have been a manipulation, because the original version is pale-skinned.

What remains to be seen is whether this means anything to the overall story, or how it fits together with Frank's painting, the cup in the poem, the "garden", etc.

Thanks, Murph!

Now, I wonder why Cassie chose that particular painting of the scene among the hundreds of others.

The painting was done in 1746, exactly 260 years ago.

Does that number or that year hold any significance?

1746 was the year Catharine de Ricci (known for her stigmata and engaging in extreme fasting and other forms of self punishment) was canonized.

It is also the year of birth for Robert R. Livingstone, signer of the Declaration of Independance, United State's first Secretary of Foreign Affairs, known Freemason and the first grand master of the Grand Lodge of New York.

College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) is founded.

im pretty sure each picture corrosponds with one of the poems. once we figure out which one goes with witch im sure they will help us solve the meaning of the poems. crazy? but it kind of makes sense. think about it...im working on figureing out which goes with witch as we speak.
