It doesn't matter what your beliefs are, you've more than likely heard the Christian phrase "Jesus Saves". Whether you believe that or not in the spiritual sense, in a literal sense a 3-yr-old boy in Philadelphia has both men to thank for saving him from serious injury or death.
While his mother was preparing to give him his bath, he was pushing on the Plexiglass that apparently had replaced a glass window. Unfortunately, the Plexiglass didn't hold and out the window the toddler went falling two floors to the back yard.
Mom ran down, expecting far worse than she found, only to see her son come limping back inside. When she went outside to see where he fell that kept him from serious harm, she saw the framed painting of The Last Supper upon which the boy had landed.
The weird thing is, the painting wasn't supposed to be outside, so it was brought back inside to the living room. It sounds like the painting wasn't harmed much either. So many extrapolations can be had in this event from coincidence to divine grace. Still, it's kind of neat how it all can be put together.
So, what do you think? Did Jesus AND daVinci save the boy? Just Jesus? Karma? Or was it all just luck? I'd like to hear what you think.
Here's the link to the news story:
Some divine intervention may have saved a boy who fell two stories out of his home and walked away.

Mother always told me not to discuss religion or politics--I didn't listen much to what my mother said but I do follow that rule!!

It's OK. I wasn't trying to initiate a major religious discussion. I just thought the whole setting was interesting in its possibilities including being entirely coincidental or lucky. I was curious what others thought, but not to declare anyone right or wrong.

What a blessing! And relief for poor mother! :)
...and maybe it was some back talk for all the hype a few years back when DaVinci was claimed to be more or less against Jesus.. (Rewriting history seems to be a big trend.)
