Kathmandu/Nepal in 2004 -Nikon F80 with 20mm
...Yes I know the top is missing...that´s because the original is a slide of which a picture is being made. Then I made a scan from that picture. In this proces you loose more and more of your original picture. The top is perfect on the slide... Someday I'm going to buy myzelf a Nikon Coolscan, I'm saving for it....:-)

SAINT DOMINIC
THIS MIRACULOUS WAY in which the devotion to the Holy Rosary was established is something of a parallel to the way in which Almighty God gave His law to the world on Mount Sinai and obviously proves its value and importance.
Inspired by the Holy Ghost, instructed by the Blessed Virgin as well as by his own experience, Saint Dominic preached the Holy Rosary for the rest of his life. He preached it by his example as well as by his sermons, in cities and in country places, to people of high station and low, before scholars and the uneducated, to Catholics and to heretics.
The Holy Rosary which he said every day was his preparation for every sermon and his little tryst with Our Lady immediately after preaching.
One day he had to preach at Notre Dame in Paris, and it happened to be the feast of St. John the Evangelist. He was in a little chapel behind the high altar prayerfully preparing his sermon by saying the Rosary, as he always did, when Our Lady appeared to him and said:
"Dominic, even though what you have planned to say may be very good, I am bringing you a much better sermon."
Saint Dominic took in his hands the book Our Lady proffered, read the sermon carefully and when he had understood it and meditated on it, he gave thanks to the Blessed Mother.
When the time came, he went up into the pulpit and, in spite of the feast day, made no mention of Saint John other than to say that he had been found worthy to be the guardian of the Queen of Heaven. The congregation was made up of theologians and other eminent people who were used to hearing unusual and polished discourses; but Saint Dominic told them that it was not his wish to give them a learned discourse, wise in the eyes of the world, but that he would speak in the simplicity of the Holy Spirit and with His forcefulness.
So he began preaching the Holy Rosary and explained the Hail Mary word by word as he would to a group of children and used the very simple illustrations which were in the book Our Lady had given him.
Carthagena, the great scholar, quoting Blessed Alan de la Roche in De Dignitate Psalterii, describes how this took place:
"Blessed Alan writes that one day Father Dominic said to him in a vision: 'My son, it is good to preach; but there is always a danger of looking for praise rather than the salvation of souls. Listen carefully to what happened to me in Paris so that you may be on guard against this kind of mistake: I was to preach in the great church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and I was particularly anxious to give a brilliant sermon, not out of pride, but because of the high intellectual stature of the congregation.
'An hour before the time I had to preach, I was recollectedly saying my Rosary----as I always did before giving a sermon----when I fell into ecstasy. I saw my beloved friend the Mother of God coming towards me with a book in her hand. 'Dominic,' she said, 'your sermon for today may be very good indeed, but no matter how good it is I have brought you one that is very much better.'
Allways on our Mother Earth there is a candle lit by someone somewhere, somehow, for peace and dignity, for the Creator, for light!

And the series go on and on and on and on.
Tried to get some golden light here, but it was not easy and it I didn't get it the way I wanted it.
Take a look here if you want to know more about this cemetery. Unfortunately the English version is a short one, clicking on the Italian version will show you a lot more pictures.
Most would just stand, hold the joss sticks and pray but this lady in her office wear really impressed me with her act of religious devotion.

BAY CITY — As Lent brings us closer to Good Friday and Easter, a common devotion is the Stations of the Cross, which follow Jesus' path from Pontius Pilate's praetorium to Calvary and His tomb. The faithful gathered at All Saints Parish at the St. James campus in Bay City to pray the Stations of the Cross each Tuesday throughout the Lenten season.
A schedule of Stations of the Cross, as well as Reconciliation and Adoration opportunities from around the diocese can be found at www.saginaw.org/liturgy/lent-cal.html
Following the Way of the Cross, also known as Via Dolorosa (Sorrowful Way), dates back to at least the fourth or fifth century and has evolved over time. Pilgrims visiting Jerusalem would retrace Jesus' last day; later popes established and encouraged "stations" in the form of Crosses or images to be erected in churches for the devotion.
The modern version of this devotion consists of 14 stations: Pilate condemns Christ to death; Jesus carries the cross; the first fall; Jesus meets His Blessed Mother; Simon of Cyrene helps to carry the cross; Veronica wipes the face of Jesus; the second fall; Jesus speaks to the women of Jerusalem; the third fall; Jesus is stripped of His garments; Jesus is nailed to the cross; Jesus dies on the cross; Jesus is taken down from the cross; and Jesus is laid in the tomb.
During the devotion, the faithful move from station to station, reflecting on the Passion and Death of Jesus. At each image, a leader says, "We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you." "Because by your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world," those gathered respond while bowing or kneeling. Different versions include variations on reflections, prayer and song.

Graffiti found inside the schoolhouse. We all agreed that this was so Athens GA...very reminiscent of the beginnings of R.E.M. and the old church.

The train had to stop for the final day prayer of Bishaw Iztema. I could only see her beautiful eyes and that empty look could tell me she was somewhere above this real world.
Faithful often bring offerings when they say prayers at their planetary post.
