“INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST”
The Indiana Spirit Quest series of
geocaches will take you to a number of historic cemeteries
built by Hoosier Pioneers. In just a year and a half, the quest has
grown to over two hundred forty caches hidden in twenty-four
Indiana counties, and two Ohio counties, and the hiders have grown
to nine cacher teams, six of which are comprised of A Man and
His Dog... and one who is a Dog and her Woman.
Over 450 cacher teams have logged over 5,100
finds. One cache machine found 102 ISQ caches in a single
day.

INDIANA
SPIRIT QUEST #247
”Beverly Hills Cop!"
Welcome to St. Patrick's Cemetery, Lake
Township, Allen County. This is a very well-kept Catholic Cemetery
with the usual complement of Statuary, and tombstones dating back
to the 1850's...Be sure to check out the statue of Mary, standing
on the snake.
Statue of Mary and Flatland Tourister
type.
In catalogs of religious articles, you
will find statues called Our Lady of Grace. They picture St. Mary
standing on a globe with a serpent beneath her feet.
These statues associate Mary with the
woman in Chapter 3 of Genesis and the woman clothed with the sun in
Chapter 12 of Revelation. Genesis 3:14-16 contains the words of God
condemning the serpent for leading Eve and Adam into sin. There God
pronounces he will “put enmity between you and the woman, and
between your offspring and hers. He will strike at your head, while
you strike at his heel.”
Chapter 12 of Revelation speaks of the
woman clothed with the sun whose son the dragon seeks to devour. In
both instances the serpent or snake represents the devil and evil.
Both passages are applied to Mary as the woman whose offspring will
conquer Satan.
