I know the story. What I meant is that posibly Bernini put the spear pointing towards the crotch to imply that her ecstasy experience was like her fantasizing of God....well... doing naughty things to her (also see the angel's happy face and St Theresa orgasmic face)

Ah. My bad.
That makes sense. The sexual overtones are definitely there.
The arrow/spear is a classic phallic symbol as well.

More pics...








(Love this pic, wish it were bigger.)

Alright. Here we go.

St. Vitus Cathedral.







Fun fact: that last image? that part of the cathedral was used by Malice Mizer as the image for their final album cover.

As such.

Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

Beautiful. The stained glass would fit perfectly in a chapel area.

Also, Malice Mizer = win.

Time to blow some more minds.

Castle walls in Bellinzona, Switzerland.

This could totally be the top floor, yknow, like in some where you have to go across that collapsing walkway?

Burg Eltz, Germany.


Zwinger in Germany

HAHAHA! I know exactly what you mean.

Although personally, I have a spot in my heart for Neuschwanstein Castle.

That bottom-most pic looks as though it would fit right at home in CVII Simon's quest. The ruins of Castlevania!
