This 14th-century painting hangs in the Cistercian Royal Monastery of the Holy Cross, in the province of Tarragona, Spain. Mary Magdalene (at foot of cross) is depicted as pregnant, with belly and navel protruding. The Cistercians, of course, were the sister order to the Knights Templar. (Thanks to researcher Steve Dimarzo for forwarding this to me.)

Naysayers need to talk to a modern free Mason about the Hooked X, it is common in Masonic literature that goes back to the early 1300's. People are so afraid that History may have to be rewritten, well, has it ever really been written about truthfully? I don't believe that Columbus discovered the Americas or the West Indies, they were discovered at least a hundred years before. I would love to hear an explaination for the Knight's Sword in Westford, MA, as this is close to where I grew up, as is America's Stonehenge.
My novel, Cabal of the Westford Knight, offers one possible explanation for the Westford carving, and also delves into the America's Stonehenge site.
The Golden Legend in southern France tells of the escape of Mary Magdalen, her son, her brother Lazarus and several others in their father Joseph of Arimathea's boat. Intermarriage with the Visigoths resulted in the Merovingian bloodline. This is so widely believed, it is in the Michelin travel guide!
I was not aware this info was in the Michelin travel guide!
