| Needless to say, as we comb through the many Catholic estates we visit, we come across lots of “odds and ends” which are clearly sacramental in nature. They do tend to pile up after a while, and we enjoy putting together large lots of these items for auction. We have also come across some delightfully unusual items. After doing this for a number of years, there are still surprises! | ||
