A total of eleven Christian-themed wallpapers for the iPhone or iPod Touch are available for free at the Catholic Desktops website and about a hundred more at Inspiks.

A humongous digital image of Leonardo da Vinci's “Last Supper” has been recently made available online. At 16 billion pixels (that's 1,600 times bigger than the image from your 10 megapixel camera), the detail is incredible. You can zoom in to as little as 1 square millimeter.
Art lovers and photography enthusiasts around the world will surely use this to examine Da Vinci's controversial artwork in minute detail. The original painting can be found in the refectory of the Santa Maria delle...
