Chapel, Santa Cruz Cathedral, Cochin, India, 2008

The morning sun passes through a decorative screen of an outdoor chapel, imprinting a kneeling man and an iconic statue of the Virgin Mary with splashes of light and shadow.
The screen is also reflected in the glass surrounding the statue. Nature and iconography combine here to express humility and faith. Santa Cruz Cathedral was built in 1887, during the British rule of India.

Tim and I see very much alike. Glad you have come to see in similar ways, Mo.

Yes it is. I saw the play of dappled light as an expression of faith as well. And as you say, it is very gentle and diffused. Yet the worshipper has completely given himself to his prayers.

I love the dappled light here. It is almost as if spirit is being gently spread on the scene.
