Page 329 "...the white rafters above the Stations of the Cross."

From page 329 of the book:  Revenant cocked his head to one side, facing a stained-glass window and, raising his chin, looked to the white rafters above the Stations of the Cross.

Here's a little reminiscence of my friends Joe Savino and Joe Centrone from the early 1960s:  They were in St. Sebastian's Church, in Woodside, Queens, and they're about seven or eight years old, give or take a year.  They come to Station #10, and the caption beneath the bas relief of Jesus having his clothes removed said: "Stripped of his clothes like a rose."  And Joe Savino explained that "We just thought it was hilariously funny.  We're kids, what do we know?  It was like watching Beavis and Butthead doing the stations of the cross.  We were so solemn, in the solemnity of the Church, and then all of a sudden, we're laughing hysterically.  There was something about the rhyme of 'stripped of his clothes like a rose' that cracked us up."
