Church Nerd's To-Do List

Opening this weekend in downtown St. Petersburg's Florida International Museum: "Vatican Splendors," so called for boasting the largest display of Catholic Christian art and artifacts outside the Vatican itself. We're the show's first stop on a lengthy tour of North America, where rumored exhibits include a partial recreation of the Sistine Chapel's interior, and a heavily guarded Mandylion of Edessa (perhaps the oldest visual representation of Christ left to us). Whee!
