But I can't 'feel right at home' if they don't tell me the location of Seacoast Church, why the webcam is placed where it is - and what is being built on the building site opposite.

Found the same blurb on this Seacoast Church website in Columbia, South Carolina. Google is your friend--I punched in "Seacoast Church" and "church thing".

What's strange is that there is no mention of the webcam on their website - as far as I can tell. So - webcam doesn't tell us about the church, the church website doesn't explain the webcam.

Unless you have fond memories of working construction sites.
*sigh* The early morning light slanting across the dirt, the backhoe randomly moving dirt around, hardhat, boots, and jeans, carrying around a clipboard and some drawings so people think you're doing something useful. *sigh*

When I checked Ancient Mariner's webcam at 18.15 my time, I saw dazzling rays of light, and concluded that at last I had found the True Webcam and that these were the Holy Rays shooting off the Host (kind of like this but in real life).
But alas, it was just the setting of the sun over the building site.

No, no, no.
That's a hedgehog that has got in to drink the Communion Wine. They're right buggers for it.

It's still closed, but the Most Blessed Sacrament is exposed as I write.
I wonder if Exposition will last a bit longer today, to facilitate the prayers of the faithful following the death of His Holiness?

Also, 'cos it is Divine Mercy Sunday and the faithful need to say their prayers in front of the MSB to gain the full benefit thereof. (Actually I think saying them with the MSB in the holy Wendyhouse is still ok).

Thank you, Coot - I should have read the Divine Mercy thread......(Divine Mercy Sunday is a new one on me - I don't think we have it in the C of E, though perhaps we need it as much as anyone....)

Hmmm, they've got the veil over the wee hoosie again, but no Monstrance. Is this in honour of His vicar's funeral or has someone eaten Jesus and they're having to send out for a fresh one?

Nah. It's got a couple of good hours left in it.

Well, the door is shut, and I don't notice any windows, so that probably helps. Maybe He wears one of those sleep-masks as well?

Meanwhile, the door next to Jesus's House is open. Could this have anything to do with the papal politicking ... er, awaiting of the arrival of the Holy Spirit ... currently transpiring in Roma?

There are windows to the left; from the quality of the light and the little it seems to change angle during most of the day, I suspect they are north-facing. That would also mean that one is facing east when facing the tabernacle across the altar, which would be liturgically appropriate.

I wish I could work out what it is that's making the door look so odd. There's something hanging from it, or leaning on it, and it's been there for some time - enquiring minds want to know!

Margaret and Spiffy -- I logged on just now precisely because I am consumed with curiosity about That Thing.
Any ideas?
As for the new Bishop of Rome, I think he's practicing tae kwon do, but I don't pretend to be an expert in the martial arts.

It could be a curtain (odd way to mount it, with that gap at the top), but it looks a flip-chart to me.

And now the image has disappeared -- and when I tried to reload the site, nothing came up.
I suspect demonic influences, personally.
(And as soon as I posted it, I was finally able to get it back. I still suspect demonic influences. Nasty things.)

Sorry--I meant there are no windows in His house, not the room the house is in.

What's the white thing covering the tabernacle? It does look like a dust cover, but I've certainly never seen this before. Why put this cover on the tabernacle if you know people are watching your webcam?

It is a tabernacle veil. These are the primary sign of a tabernacle with the Blessed Sacrament present (the light is a secondary sign). Veils are required by the liturgical norms, norms that are as often honoured in the breach as in the observance!

Goodness, the tabernacles's still veiled, even though it's the small hours in Florida. Does this mean Jesus has stayed up all night?
And if he has, and considering that it's Orthodox Easter - eeek, could it be that Jesus is Orthodox?
