Jacob, having wrestled with an Angel of The Lord all night, asks the Angel to bless him. The Angel blesses him and says henceforth his name shall be Israel (Yisrael in Hebrew) He who contends with The Lord.

 

I shot Jacob And The Angel in the theatre at yesterday's dress rehearsal of "Arizona Ballet Theatre Salutes The Americas 2014." The lighting is dramatically low, so I had to shoot at slower shutter speeds than I like to use.

 

Performances are this evening at 6pm and Sunday Matinee at 3pm, in the University Of Arizona's Stevie Eller Dance Theatre. Some tickets are still available.
