When pilgrims enter the Sinai basilica, they light candles in prayers for those who are living, or in commemoration of those who have gone to their rest.
‘They bee great offerers of Candles’, as the English merchant Richard Chancellor wrote when he visited Moscow in 1553. (The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiqves and Discoveries of the English Nation, published in 1598.)
Beautiful. Each candle is such a beautiful beacon of hope. I appreciate this picture very much. Always so glad to see a blog post Fr Justin.
Thanks a lot for this beautiful photograph dear father Justin.
The blue colour is so amazing to me ..
