The Edgar Allan Poe Cottage in the Bronx By Tom McDonald, NYC Transit retiree
Of all the places around the City that I have visited, the Edgar Allan Poe Cottage on East Kingsbridge Road and Grand Concourse and the adjacent Poe Park are easily among my favorites. Maybe it’s because the cottage was the final home of one of the greatest American writers.
Built in 1812, Poe moved into the cottage in 1846 with his wife, Virginia, and her mother, Mrs. Maria Clemm. At the time, the area known as Fordham was countryside, and Poe moved there for the fresh air that he thought would help his wife’s tuberculosis. Unfortunately, Virginia died in 1847, but Poe and his mother-in-law continued to live there until Poe died in Baltimore during a speaking tour in 1849. Mrs. Clemm moved out upon Poe’s death and the cottage was rented out for decades, until the City of New York bought the property, moved it a block to avoid possible demolition, and made it into a museum in 1913.
Inside the cottage museum, the over 200-year old structure is amazingly fit, though the sloping ceilings in some rooms require that you duck to go inside. The Bronx Historical Society offers informative guides throughout the day, from Thursday through Sunday.
Most of the furniture is comprised of period pieces, but a rocking chair and the bed that Virginia Poe died in are from the original structure. A small lodging, the Poe Cottage is very intriguing, with a bust and a few portraits of the writer adding to the atmosphere. The master bedroom on the second floor is now used for screening a 17-minute film on the history of the cottage and Poe himself.
A visitors’ center adjacent to the cottage is located within the appropriately named Poe Park, which features a kids’ play area and an old gazebo waiting for some instruments to arrive. The Poe Cottage welcomes groups and there are regular events in Poe Park and the visitors’ center. Poe Cottage, where one of the greatest American writers created some of his impressive catalog, including one of his most famous poems, “Annabel Lee,” is a New York City and State landmark and is on the Register of Historic Places.
The D train to Kingsbridge Rd leaves you right across the street from the Poe Cottage. The Kingsbridge Road stop on the 4 train is about 5 blocks away. The Bx1, Bx2, Bx28, and BxM4 buses all have stops close by.
31 October and 1 and 2 November are called, colloquially (not officially), “Hallowtide” or the “Days of the Dead” because on these days we pray for or remember those who’ve left this world.
The days of the dead center around All Saints’ Day (also known as All Hallows’) on November 1, when we celebrate all the Saints in Heaven. On the day after All Hallows’, called “All Souls’ Day,” we remember the saved souls who are in Purgatory, being cleansed of the temporal effects of their sins before they can enter Heaven. The day that comes before All Hallows’, though, is one on which we unofficially remember the damned and the reality of Hell. The schema, then, for the Days of the Dead looks like this:
Can Halloween be Christianized Again? – (Halloween, a Feast of Charity to the Poor and the Dead) On Return to Order
This is exactly what the Church did to Halloween. In the ninth century, this pagan festival was replaced by a double day celebration remembering all the dead that are saved. All Saints Day remembers those who are uncanonized in heaven so that they might have their feast too. All Souls Day remembers the poor souls who are saved from the eternal fires of hell yet are suffering for a time in purgatory.
On the eve of these two feasts, the bells would ring, and town criers would remind all to pray for the poor souls. Thus, on All Hallows Eve, later Halloween, children from poor families would go door-to-door, receiving food and sweets in exchange for praying for the souls of the dead. This “souling” as it was called, gave rise to canvassing for “soul” cakes which became part of the tradition.
The Fire of Purgatory Comes from Hell – On OnePeterFive
There is in Purgatory, as in Hell, a double pain – the pain of loss and the pain of sense. The pain of loss consists in being deprived for a time of the sight of God, who is the Supreme Good, the beatific end for which our souls are made, as our eyes are for the light. It is a moral thirst which torments the soul. The pain of sense, or sensible suffering, is the same as what we experience in our flesh. Its nature is not defined by faith, but it is the common opinion of the Doctors that it consists in fire and other species of suffering. The fire of Purgatory, say the Fathers, is that of Hell, of which the rich glutton speaks, Quia crucior in hac flamma, “I suffer,” he says, “cruelly in these flames.”

An heretical document is released by the Vatican’s Holy See – – A Joint Statement By Catholics and Lutherans
Saying “we are very thankful for the spiritual and theological gifts received through the Reformation” http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2017/10/31/0753/01633.html#or in which was commemorated a document every faithful prelate and theologian in the Catholic Church objected to upon its release in 1999 The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, solemnly signed by the Lutheran World Federation and the Roman Catholic Church in 1999, has also been signed by the World Methodist Council in 2006 and, during this Commemoration Year of the Reformation.
This tragic document further lays the ground work for the prophesied one world religion
Lutheranism like other denominations revolves around twisting Sacred Scripture to mean something different than the mystical Body of Christ has always taught it means
Today’s Scriptures reflect the Divinity of the God-man Jesus Christ that has empowered all of his mystical body through transubstantiation of the real presence of his Body on earth today by the building up of the Church he established through the Saints and the blood of the martyrsToday’s Book of the Apocalypse (Revelation) Chapter 5 is a perfect example the Liturgy Of The Hours Office of the Readings in its proper Douay Rheims version
1And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and without, sealed with seven seals. 2And I saw a strong angel, proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3And no man was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look on it. 4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it. 5And one of the ancients said to me: Weep not; behold the lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth. 7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne. 8And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints: 9And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation. 10And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth. 11And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the living creatures, and the ancients; and the number of them was thousands of thousands, 12Saying with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and benediction. 13And every creature, which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them: I heard all saying: To him that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, benediction, and honour, and glory, and power, for ever and ever. 14And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever.
And again from morning prayer from Ephesians 1st Chapter
The Roman Catholic interpretation
That this God-man 2nd person of the Holy Trinity give you wisdom and revelation that you might inherit the glory of the “Catholic Saints” as there are no other Saints but Catholic Saints
17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him: 18The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what the hope is of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.
And from the last lines of the Gospel from today’s Traditional Mass of the Saints that reflect the entrance belief unto the beatitudes
Mathew 5th Chapter
The Roman Catholic interpretation – Is this persecution , martyrdom and reward is for those Saints that defend the Roman Catholic Church as the one true Body of Christ which does not sit equal to nor subsist in any other entity or organization on earth
10Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: 12Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
EXAMPLES LIKE THIS CAN BE RAISED EVERY MASS READING AND EVERY SET DIVINE OFFICE READINGS EVERY DAY so how can these Sacred Scriptures be reconciled from hundreds and hundreds of years of Church teachings and teachings of the Saints by a religion that sees that these interpretations are lies –
There are 73 books in the Canon of Sacred Scripture – not 66 and half of Daniel as engineered in the 1600s
The most authentic bible is the Latin version – the original Jerome Vulgate – The first and most authentic translation is the Douay Rheims version in “old english” for those looking for a modern english translation of same the only recourse is the Confraternity edition – This will help yourself and family read and pray correctly through the coming errors of the other Church within the Church
Is the RSV – revised standard version an ok bible – Answer = it is ok but also still has many of the errors of the forced false ecumenism – post iconoclasm period of the Catholic Church – The ultimate worst version of the bible , as admitted by the majority of Catholic Priests and bible scholars is the NAB – New American Bible that is used in the new (novus ordo) Mass and the English version of same is one of the top three reasons today in the Catholic Church that people leave the new Rite for eastern Catholic Rites and the Traditional Western Rite. It is due to the discovery by people seeking the truth the fact on hundreds of purposely falsely translated contextual false ecumenism(s)of Sacred Scripture in ‘every’ book of the bible
Understand that what is happening right now in the Church has had architects at the planning and the stone for well over half a century + the resistance and restoration movement has over 100 million faithful Catholics within in
Help propagate and build truth as the truth is right now at this moment looking for many other souls searching for it
The Transit Museum’s 16th Annual Holiday Train Show Nov 16th thru Feb 2nd at Grand Central Terminal as sponsored by Con Edison.
Nothing says holiday enchantment quite like the iconic image of model trains whirring by as they circle around the base of a magnificently lit tree. On November 16, the New York Transit Museum will continue to celebrate the beloved New York City tradition with the opening of its 16th Annual Holiday Train Show on view at the Museum’s Grand Central Gallery Annex & Store.
Dazzling both children and adults alike, the Transit Museum’s display will feature Lionel trains traveling along a 34’ long, two-level, “O” gauge model train layout. Departing from a miniature replica of Grand Central Terminal on their way to the North Pole, this year’s exhibition showcases the Transit Museum’s Lionel Metro-North, Polar Express, and vintage subway train sets. A selection from the Museum’s collection of trolley and elevated train models created by Dr. George T.F. Rahilly will also be on display to the delight of viewers.
This year’s festive model railroading exhibit will be set against a cityscape backdrop designed by Brooklyn-based artist Josh Cochran. Raised in Taiwan and California, Cochran specializes in bright, dense, and conceptual drawings. His work spans a variety of media, including large scale mural installations and children’s books.
“The installation I created for the Transit Museum’s Holiday Train Show at Grand Central depicts trains and subway cars wrapping around and through a bustling city,” says Cochran. “I wanted to show the amazing energy of New York and feature the various types of mass transit that people use every day.”
“We are thrilled that illustrator Josh Cochran designed a unique new work to celebrate this festive season says Transit Museum Senior Curator and Deputy Director of Collections & Exhibitions Amy Hausmann. “Our annual Holiday Train Show began in 2002 and we love that, in its 16th year, the holiday tradition continues to create a joyful atmosphere for customers and visitors with magical toy trains and a good dose of sparkle at our Grand Central Terminal Gallery.”
The 16th Annual Holiday Train Show is on view at the Transit Museum’s Grand Central Gallery Annex & Store November 16, 2017 through February 4, 2018. The New York Transit Museum Gallery Annex & Store at Grand Central is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and is closed on major holidays and for special events.
