Incredible! What an interesting story!
As an aside; we have here in Mazatlán, Mexico, The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. It is purported to be the only Catholic Church in the world that has the “Jewish Star” adorning its windows. There are 28 Jewish stars in 28 of it’s stained glass windows. The story that I have been able to find relates that when the church was built, 1875 to 1899, a wealthy Jewish family contributed money so that the church could be built. I have heard but; been unable to find in print, that these Jewish people also practiced their faith in an alcove of the church. I have no idea if this is true but; find it heart warming to think that kind of co-operation might have once existed.. Regardless of the true origin of the stars, they are indeed there! My husband and I volunteer at the Cathedral on days when the cruise ships come in and we point them out to many a tourist.
