Blast from the poultry past!

 I showed this for Sunday Stamps back in 2017 (!!) - it is a favorite stamp of mine, so here it is again. Chickens on a stained glass window at. the cathedral in Santo Domingo de la Calzada.



There's a fun blog here about someone's visit, and an explanation of the miracle of the chickens.

Thanks again to Eva for sending this excellent stamp. To see more stamps with the theme of glass, explore the links at See it on a Postcard.

    1. An eggsellent one, in my opinion. (I'll see myself out)

  3. This is a favourite of mine, too. I visited Santo Domingo de la Calzada almost thirty years ago, with my parents, and of course all I remember are the chickens in the church :)

    (Seven years ago sending a letter to you cost only 1,35€! I should have sent more then.)

    1. Haha! If there's. one thing for sure it's that the price of postage always goes up

  4. Thanks for the link. It was a wonderful story though I'm not sure I'll be cooking/eating chicken. I think I'd be worried that the cooked chicken would come back alive. My version would be more like Stephen King's "Pet Semetery" 😺

  5. Well worth sharing again. Super story and an unusual window. You never know what you will find when entering a church.

  6. What an amazing story! And a Chicken Church! A stained glass window with chickens would be hard to believe wasn't a joke without your link.
