FYI: Mary on the half-shell or in the bathtub is popular with non and half-assimilated Italian Americans in the northeast. Statues of St. Francis and St. Gennaro are also fairly common.

MOTHS is a term I first heard from a Catholic friend from the NE. As devout as she is, I was shocked to hear it from her and then hear her laugh hysterically. “Of all people”; I thought.

Thanks for the info, As I said, the first time I ever saw them was last Sept when I went through KY, IN and IL on my way out West.
