There is an Angel that represents the center of New York City. Today it is said that if you stand by that Angel long enough, you will eventually see everybody in New York. That famous Angel, that Angel in America has been a symbol of many things over several generations.
As legend has it, during the days of the Second Temple the Angel Bethesda descended on the temple square in Jerusalum and just one angelic foot touched earth. Where her foot touched a fountain shot up from the ground.
When the Romans destroyed the temple, that fountain ran dry.
Before the flowing stopped, if anyone who was suffering in the body or the spirit walked through the waters of Bethesda they would be healed, washed clean of pain an suffering.
Now the time is coming when the Parks Department will drain her healing waters and she will guard New Yorkers throughout the winter. Summer is over and I was looking through my photos. I came cross an episode that I think is fun to view. Below is an adventure in the healing waters of Bethesda.
