    SCARY THAT PEOPLE DO THIS.

  2. Joerg Wohlwender says:

    Good, that people have a faith

    What is also amazing is she is from Iraq – a Christian Nun from Iraq that still has faith is a beacon of hope for me anyway!

On our roundabout Journey through the Holy Land we stopped at the famous Church of the Beatitudes, and I spoke with a wonderful caretaker there, a devoted sister full of faith and joy who permitted me to photograph her in prayer. Obviously I found the image as captured to be less engaging and added many adjustments to give it a different character. What do you think? (Photograph taken in August 2011)
