Ulysses, Telemachus, No. 9

Cf. 1922 3:9; Gabler3:10

Mulligan's priestly charade continues. I linked to this page before to illustrate the "Introibo," but I didn't see the video the first time around. It will stun you.

Robert carefully gives Mulligan a classic blessing gesture. It's exactly the hand you'd see on a medieval saint. I'd go trolling through my art history books to find just the right one, but I've packed them, and Google Images isn't giving me what I need, so I leave it to you gentle reader to give me a good image in the comments. In the meantime, I give you this fascinating tradition of the eastern church, where a priest's hand uses a gesture that is also a Christogram. I had no idea.
