The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence.

Choosing His mother? Sorry, that and the whole "virgin" birth thing just doesn't make sense in any case, so I don't feel that there is a question to answer here.

Mithra was supposedly a "virgin birth" too. As well as dozens of other divinities from different religions throughout history before, at the time of, and after the time of Jesus.

They must have gotten the type from the "spear of destiny", or "Constantine's spear". Or one of the 5 fakes, unless they're all fakes. I'm surprised there hasn't been one offered on ebay.  ;D

I wonder how much it would fetch if one did.

Indeed, there are enough holy spears to supply a whole Roman Legion, enough splinters of wood from the cross to build Noahs Ark and enough holy nails to hold it all together.

I think Hitler was after the "spear of destiny". Don't know if he ever got it.

The holy hand grenade of Antioch is my favourite relic :)

Well said Sir.

The Bible is hardly unique.
