Here are two pictures from the second shelf of my desk (the whole shelf looks like this, pretty much):



And here is my night table, home to many of my Catholic books:



The ribbons in my Bible are not equal lengths because my cat likes to chew on them. [/quote]

Sweet collection. lol @ the pink rosary, very cute. My cat likes to sit on my Bible and chew the ribbons too. >=T

my dresser is my private altar. The top has a a statue of OLG that is a foot and a half tall. And around her are my statues and relics. I don't need much of a mirror, since there is one on my door, so I have taped holy cards all over the mirror (one of those 3 way ones). It actually is nice, I think. We also have a chapel at the top of our stairs, with a life sized Crucifix, and several icons and pictrures hanging around it. Several votive candles as well. then we have one in our living room, which has a Last Rites Crucifix and two icons on it (and an ICJ from Prague).

Whose relics do you have? And are they first class relics? :)

I have a first class relic of Saint John Nuemann (pronounced Noyman) two second class ones of Saint Anthony, a peice of lace touched to he veil of Our Lady (I think the veil was found in the tomb of Her Dormition) a second class relic of Bl Francis Seelos, a third class relic of St.Maria Goretti, a peice of cloth touched to the Shroud of Oviedo (the prayer veil worn by Christ) a third class relic of Saint Anthony, and a third class relic of Saint Therese. I think that is just about everyone! Roll Call......oh, and a medal with a peice of cloth touched to SA tongue!

That's awesome that you have a first class relic! I wish I had one of those. Out of curiosity, how did you obtain it?

I'm not surprised by the wealth of awesomeness that Tridenteen has. I'm also curious how you got these relics. Indiana jones style perhaps?

Allright, I have a pretty small student's room and I'm on a student budget, but managed to get something set up today. Which also forced me to clean my room. :rolleyes: I'm still hoping to find a crucifix sometime soon, but I did manage to scrounge all my Catholic stuff together, which is a good start. I've got an icon of St.Michael that's painted on a large wood tablet, a picture of Mary and baby Jesus, a Bible, a prayer book, 4 rosaries (I know..), a scapular I'm saving for after my baptism, a bronze chalice-like candle holder, and an assortment of Catholic books. = ] Oh, and a calendar. Woot.

[quote]I like the icon of St. Michael![/quote]

Thanks Res, my friends mom painted it for me. She's a really good artist.

[quote]VERY nice! What's the chalice? Is it for incense?[/quote]

It's just a regular candle holder, but it has another piece you can screw into the bottom and it can hold a small candle or incense. It's solid metal and pretty old, so I'm really quite happy with it. :D

Right on. :yes:



Me too. I'm thinking of getting rid of my bed entirely and just putting an altar/shrine in there. (To Ephrem: I see lots of Catholic article calling them altars, but yeh I've heard people call them shrines before.)
