Happy Sheelah's Day. This feast, largely no longer celebrated in Ireland, commemorates either St Patrick's wife or mother, who probably didn't exist. So let's celebrate a similarly-named mysterious figure today instead: the sheela na gig!

@vagina_museum How come St Patrick's mother didn't exist? 🤔

I already knew that Adam and Eve's mother didn't (even though they had belly buttons) - unless she was the one who created them.

@Blogfeedser @vagina_museum Hang on, how did people know they had bellybuttons?

@WhiteCatTamer @vagina_museum They painted them on every painting! 😄

@Blogfeedser @vagina_museum To be fair, the European artists also made Biblical figures white and often wearing medieval clothing/armor, which I think is less theological doctrine and more Eurocentrism.

Now this makes me wonder how many paintings depict a pre-Fall Adam as circumcised.🤔 Or any Biblical figure before Abra(ha)m, for that matter.
