A Mystery…

[Brandybee]

mmmm – I'm presuming this bit is the where? Or is it the when or who?

Mothered without conception, a miracle indeed
A heavenly burden, blessed in her core

Ok, Is this the Virgin Mary, carrying  baby Jesus ?

Wiggled from below the earth
Dangling on a hook, twisting in his wait
Long and slender, without sight, quickly turned into ….        ( bait? )

Sounds like a fisherman's worm?

mmmm Mary and a worm …  .  Tight you are still driving me nuts lol

[Brandybee]

mmmmm  ok..  This is the Where …

so .. we got      lighthouse on an atol 
                          The Virgin Mary
                          Worms, fisherman's bait 

Does this ring a bell to anyone location wise? 

[Lover]

A lighthouse on the Virgin Islands? I don't think so, but perhaps Tight gives a hint…
Or are you talking about Jesus and his words “I want you are fishers of men”?

Sorry, Tight… we need some help

[TightFit74]

All ingredients to find the 'Where” are there.. the answers from both riddles need to be combined.. a lighthouse and an island, … and … makes? try and enter the words in google and see where it takes you…..

[Brandybee]

HEHE  Is that a tantalising clue on your pic  Tight  ?  …. the lighthouse   ….. You tease you .. 

[TightFit74]

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't… Solve the riddle and you will know if this is the lighthouse the story refers to…

uhm, do I have to start looking over my shoulder ms Brandy? getting to feel a little paranoia… *grins*

[bluedenim]

I did think of the Staue of Liberty………………………..

[TightFit74]

it is indeed a lighthouse, somewhere on an island. The second riddle tells which island and the name of the lighthouse…

one hint: It's neither on the American continent, nor the European continent…

Hiya's

  The Lighthouse at Alexandria on the Island of Pharos.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as the Pharos of Alexandria (in Ancient Greek, ὁ Φάρος Ἀλεξανδρινóς), was a tower built between 280 and 247 BC on the island of Pharos at Alexandria, Egypt. Its purpose was to guide sailors into the harbor at night.

With a height variously estimated at somewhere between 393 and 450 ft (120 and 140 m), it was for many centuries among the tallest man-made structures on Earth. It was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Thank you Wikipedia.

Thanks for letting me share,

Tight ,    paranoia .. …. do I make you nervous sweetie ??  Hehe

[bluedenim]

That was definitely hard for non-uk residents!

[Brandybee]

Blue,  Hey I'm not sure if ts right, its been driving me crazy since Tight posted. And i let you into a secret – I never heard of it before. Pictures look great though.

Hope you continue to join us on figuring the puzzles out , I like throwing ideas out to crack the riddles – I'm too thick to crack them on my own Hehe …

Pafe , Lover, same to you … dont leave me floundering    Please …. 

[TightFit74]

ms Brandy,

[Lover]

@ Brandy: I won't leave you alone :-*  I also love to solve puzzles, but I didn't have a new idea – congrats, you made it!!!

Tight,

North end of Whitley Bay. UK.

– does it really not belong to the European continent?

[TightFit74]

Lover,
maybe I should have said: the european mainland? Though in my eyes, and in the eyes of the brits I think, the UK is not part of the continent, though part of europe…
