it isnt about who is better or more, it is about the beauty of little details. i took a picture of the least decorated corner of a church because the old fresco stoud out to me, and i adored the figure it depicts. your 'better' is meaningless in the way you show it

Fitting epistle reading today for the feast of St. Teresa Benedicta.
“I beg the Lord to take my life and my death... as atonement for the unbelief of the Jewish People and that the Lord will be received by his own people” - St. Teresa Benedicta, 1939 testament in anticipation of her martyrdom
“I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie; my conscience joins with the Holy Spirit in bearing me witness that I have great sorrow and constant anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my own people, my kindred according to the flesh. They are Israelites; theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; theirs the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.” - St. Paul, Romans 9:1-5
