I thought that scene was filmed in Orlando but found out it was filmed at a crocodile farm in Jamaica and the owner of that farm was the stunt man that stepped over those crocodiles. professor

RE: Was Jesus married?

History of DaVinci's Last Supper. It sustained a lot of damage in the past 500 years including a WW2 bomb that destroyed the roof and another wall. From the Britanica website. professor

The wall painting was commissioned by Ludovico Sforza, the duke of Milan and Leonardo’s patron during his first extended stay in that city. The Sforza coats of arms appear with the family’s initials on the three lunettes above the mural. Leonardo likely began working on the painting in 1495 and, as was his manner, worked slowly with long pauses between sessions, until he finished in 1498. Because of Leonardo’s notorious perfectionism, true fresco painting was not ideal, as the process requires that an artist apply paint quickly to each day’s fresh plaster before the plaster dries and bonds the pigment to the wall. Instead, Leonardo tried an experimental technique using tempera or oil paint on two layers of dry preparatory ground. His compromised process meant that the pigments were not permanently attached to the wall, however, and the painting began to flake within a few years. It continued to deteriorate, suffering from the steam and smoke of the monastery’s kitchen, soot from the refectory’s candles, and the dampness of the location.

In the ensuing centuries, the painting sustained additional damage. In 1652 a door was cut into the north wall, removing Jesus’ feet and loosening the paint and plaster. Several restorations followed, with heavy-handed retouches and the application of varnish, glue, solvents, and the like. The painting endured additional irreverence when Napoleon’s invading troops used the refectory as a stable. After a flood in the beginning of the 19th century, mold growth damaged the painting further still. During World War II the painting suffered its greatest catastrophe, when an Allied bomb caused the roof and one wall of the refectory to collapse. The painting survived, but it was exposed to the elements for several months before the space was rebuilt.

After centuries of maltreatment, the Last Supper underwent an extensive and controversial 20-year restoration that was completed in 1999. Restorers worked in small sections to remove previous retouches, layers of grime, and coats of varnish while adding beige watercolour to the parts that could not be recovered. When the restored painting was revealed, many critics argued that the restorers had removed so much of the painting that very little was left of Leonardo’s original work. Others, however, commended the recovery of such details as the Apostles’ expressions and the food on the table.

RE: Whatever Your Taste In Music!!

I used to sing this song in the local chapter of a barbershop chorus. We once did a 2 hour concert of just Irish songs. Due to the median age of the chorus being over 80 years old, due to age and deaths, that chapter closed. The Surfside Chorus out of Daytona Beach, Florida. sad flower Oh by the way, I love the real Celtic Woman concerts I used to watch on the local PBS stations. good luck irish good luck
