816 Notre Dame Vintage Postcards - Crown of Thorns History
vintage postcards
Notre Dame in Paris houses a piece of Jesus' crown of thorns. The relic is actually thornless. The unstinting Louis IX gave the holy spikes away as gifts.
The Emperor of Constantinople (1239 - 41) sold the crown for an extortionate sum of mullah to Louis during the lucky number 7 crusade. A special mass is held every first Friday of the month to present the relic. You can actually go see it!

Anchovy and Walnut Ketchup!
vintage postcards
The word 'ketchup' comes from the Chinese Ké Tsiap. Dutch and English sailors brought this spicy, fishy and very tomato less concoction back home with them from Asia. Europeans then added nutty ingredients like... walnuts!
A ketchup recipe in 'The complete Housewife,' published in 1727, called for anchovies, shallots, vinegar, white wine, sweet spices (cloves, ginger, mace, nutmeg), pepper, and lemon peel! A tomato was finally popped into the mix in about 1801. Mmmmm..pass the fries!

The Wright Brother's Toys - Vintage Postcard
vintage postcards
In 1878 Orville and Wilbur Wright's father, who traveled often as a bishop in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, brought home a toy "helicopter" for his two younger sons. The device was based on an invention of French aeronautical pioneer Alphonse Penaud. Made of paper, bamboo and cork with a rubber band to twirl its rotor, it was about a foot long. The brothers played with it until it broke, then built their own. In later years, they pointed to their experience that toy as the initial spark of their interest in flying
I wonder what Orville and Wilbur Wright would have said about this Playmobil security check point toy?

Humming 'Sur le Pont D'Avignon'
ntage postcards
Every French child sings the beloved song 'Sur le Pont d'Avignon - On the Avignon Bridge' in nursery school and wants to dance on it!
The bridge's construction (1171 - 1185) was inspired by a local shepherd boy who was commanded by angels to build a bridge across the Rhone river. He was ridiculed until he dramaticaly 'proved' his divine inspiration by miraculously lifting a huge block of stone!

Here's a kitschy French Jean Sablone singing the song for you:)
