There is so much I love about this picture.
Growing up catholic, JP was our Pope. He was ever-present in many relatives households, doubly so because we are Polish. I remember my grandmother and her sister both had LOTS of JP stuff (I have inherited a 22 inch ceramic version of him from his glory days).
Tying him in to Star Wars (one of the first movies I remember seeing in theater)....BRILLIANT.

This is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI've not practiced Catholicism in many decades, but I always admired JP2. Remarkable man, and I think an inspiration for many.
(BTW, I had no idea you were Polski like me!)
We grew up Polish but some documents we found recently after the older generation died makes us think we are ethnically Russians who moved to and lived in Poland.....either way, we still claim the Polish heritage proudly!
