Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy

Iggy Pop crowd-walking on "Midsummer Rock" TV broadcast from Cincinnati Pop Festival on on June 13, 1970 at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio - later in the broadcast an audience member (rumoured to be future Dead Boys lead singer, Stiv Bators) passes the singer a jar of something - the TV announcer states: "That's peanut butter"
