Other observations:

* The Columbia accident occurred on Feb. 1. In the Celtic tradition,
this is Imbolc, a fire festival. On this day the Celts honored Brigit,
the goddess of fire. Brigit was invoked as the "Bright Arrow" and
"Sudden Flame."

* The Christian Church turned Imbolc into Candlemas, a celebration of
Mary's visit to the Temple in Jerusalem for a ritualistic purification
after the birth of Jesus. A story tells of Simeon, a holy man living
in Jerusalem, who, when Mary entered the Temple, greeted her and the
child Jesus, and blessed the child as "a light to lighten the
gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel."

* Palestine, Texas was founded by a group of settlers who hoped to
build a "New Jerusalem."

* Debris from the shuttle also fell on Nacogdoches, the oldest town in
Texas and the place where the state's first producing oil well was
drilled in 1861.

* One piece of tile from the shuttle fell within 75 miles of President
Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.

* "Columbia" is an alias for the United States.
