He did a great job capturing the crushed china glistening in the sun.
What is the meaning of the phrase… “crushed china glistening”? Is it the cracks in the outer temple walls as shown on the pic in tyhe post?
Craig. It’s a reference to a popular anecdotal (and non-historical) story about early church members crushing their china plates and cups to give a sparkle to the exterior of the building.
