Last week on Photo Saturday, we tempted you with a stunning image of the Angolo Beach at Sperlonga. This week, the beach trip continues (thank goodness!) as photographer Susan Sanders shows us the tiny but much-loved chapel of San Rocco, also in lovely Sperlonga.
This almost-on-the-seaside chapel is eternally well-kept — always full of flowers, blazing candles, devotional images, and hand-written signs informing passers-by of religious feasts with notices that change throughout the course of the year, but say things like “May is the month of Mary” or “June is the month of the Sacred Heart.”

Via Quid Plura, we’ve discovered that Pope Innocent III action figures are on sale at Archie McPhee for the entirely reasonable price of 2 for $4.99!
Introduce this Pope to your other action figures and watch the spiritual sparks fly!
Armed with his formidable power of excommunication and an intimidating scroll inscribed with Latin text, this 6″ tall, hard plastic model of the 176th Pope will soon have all your other action figures lining up for confession.
Read the back of the illustrated blistercard and you’ll find that Pope Innocent III (who reigned from 1198-1216) was a good guy in all respects. He was a patron of the arts, cared about orphans, built a hospital and reunified the Papal States!
Comes with removable fancy Pope hat. (eCool Disclaimer: Beware of smiting!)
They’re sure to blow out of the store at this price and it’s hard to imagine they’ll be restocking. So click here to get yours now!
