Bach and Dürer: Passion Music and Imagery:
A site where you can simultaneously view a woodcut from Dürer's 'Large Passion' series, along with the text and audio from a congruent area of Bach's St Matthew Passion. 'The images are from the AMICO image library; the originals are held by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The audio clips and text (both German and translation) are taken from the Karl Richter recording of J.S. Bach's Matthäus-Passion. The audio clips are in RealAudio format'. (source)

Other good words online this week

Food that Magically Regrows Itself From Kitchen Scraps at Cooking Stoned: see my little kitchen experiments at my new Instagram page (and, thanks, Rachel for the link!)
The Vicar of Baghdad by Timothy George at First Things: "If Jesus came back to the Middle East today, I think he would look a lot like the Reverend Canon Dr. Andrew White, the Anglican Chaplain in Iraq and Vicar of St. George’s Church." Yes, I believe you are right.
