Holy highways

Moving statues, weeping Madonna’s and now miniature grottos. On my cycles around town I have noticed shrines carved into the asphalt at various locations on God’s highways.

A blessed nuisance

The depth of these grottos varies, but they are significantly hazardous to remind the ungodly that the path to salvation is not smooth. Unfortunately motorists are shielded from grottification by suspension. Cyclists get the full benefit of spiritual awakening and may feel the power of the supernatural as they fly through the air.

We should all thank Belfast City Council for this new initiative to spread the message that the road to heaven, or Lisburn, is paved with indentations. When lying in the gutter don’t forget to look at the firmament and marvel at holy highways.
