I don't know about you, but when I was growing, we had a conch shell Jesus. It was a "TV lamp" (that's what it was called) that set on the TV so you wouldn't go blind (I guess) from watching TV in the dark. This is not a picture of our conch shell Jesus, though; I still have the shell, but Jesus long ago broke off and was lost.

When I got older, I didn't understand why "they" would put Jesus in front of a glowing conch shell as he had no relationship with islands in the Caribbean. Now, I find it sublimely ridiculous. However, until I was a teenager, I found it a thing of great beauty. I also found that there is also an abalone shell Jesus--they weren't around when I was small, and maybe they were considered heresy among the people whom I knew.

(And no, I don't own these--took a picture of the abalone shell in a thrift shop and found the other online.)
