Description
The Feast Day of Saint Joseph Day Food Alter. Upon returning home after taking photos of the tradition of The Feast Day of Saint Joseph Day Food Alter. I had visited the after and took photographs with my cell phone and Cannon camera and did not notice the brilliant while light which appeared on statue behind and above the alter.
It was tradition my brothers and sisters would visit the church with out mother during the Feast Day Alter presentation. Upon the dismantlement of the alter the food prepared is given to the less fortunate....
I had taken many images from all angles and did not notice the brilliant white light nor heard any verbal notice from parishioners sitting the pews behind me... Normally the church would not be open at that particular time but because of the alter present to the Feast of St. Joseph the church has extended hours.
The two reasonable explanations are at a particular moment momentary the sunlight from the setting sun shines through an opening from high above in the vaulted ceiling of the cathedral then is reflected off a pane from the massive chandler which hangs above and to the left of the alter.
My second explanation could my flash gone off and I personally rule that out. When the image is enlarged no reflection of light appears on any of the objects located on the alter of food. This cove where the Statue of St. Joseph suspends from the wall is to the right of the main alter..
Other photographs taken of the marble statue of St. Joseph located in a garden outside the church also part of a series found in my gallery will be visible in an upcoming You Tube sermon, discussion telecast from a village in Spain of St. Joseph Statue receiving photographer credits images from my gallery here at Fine Art America Pixel's and site involvement, a humbling and honoring recognition....
