DAILY CALL SHEET: MARCH 30, 2024

Santo in the Wax Museum (1963) A Dr. Moreau wannabe plies his monster making trade at the local waxworks, sending his creations out to kidnap more raw materials. Nothing seems able to stop this evil until El Santo takes time off from wrasslin' to stop by and beat the crap out of everybody. If you've seen one Santo film, you've seen'em all, but if you liked that one Santo film you saw, then you'll probably like this one as well.

TIL: Dating back to the 5th century, one of the Church's oldest known sacramentals is the “Agnus Dei”, a wax disc with the image of a lamb pressed into it. Originally, these discs were made on Holy Saturday from the wax of the previous year’s Paschal candles and then blessed by the Pope before being distributed for free to the people. Sadly, the custom of handing out Agnus Dei appears to have all but ended with Vatican II.

I HAVE SOME NOTES: Perhaps not the deepest thoughts  on my daily Scripture readings, but thoughts nonetheless.
