Oh my gosh! I really can't believe how expensive things sell for. I mean, it's a cool item and everything, but why would someone want it and for THAT much?! I would be fine just viewing it myself.

Well Mother Teresa did all the good work throughout her life.
I am not surprised as someone must have lots of respect for her.
Thanks for the info.

Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje, Macedonia, on August 26, 1910. Her family was of Albanian descent. At the age of twelve, she felt strongly the call of God.
