Aber mit der Heimat
geht man immer herum,
durch die Welt,
dort und dort
Peter Handke
No one could describe
the Word of the Father;
but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos,
He consented to be described, and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.

Goodness, stuff like this has me in floods of tears.
And just as I recovered, I saw this wonderful tribute from the Springboks which gives some great background to the original video.
And I defy anyone to watch the last frame of this video without a catch in throat or tear in the eye….
