(...) I heard that pirates (or in this case - Gilbert the Bad) wore eye patches so that if they ever had to fight in the dark, one eye would already be adjusted. So some wore patches even with two healthy eyes :) -- Pawel (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Yaron, Very nice church. I like the details in the windows especially. Also the goblet, the books (hymn books or bibles?), the statue, the shields are all nice details.
