Sometimes God works in mysterious ways, and so for the Easter vigil He gave us a majestic spectacle made of fire. As you can observe in the following photograph, there is a fire outlining the landscape. Above, the Moon reigns with its light…almost as if attentively watching after the church. On the right side you can see the apse of the structure penetrate the gardens.

Francesco, Jimmy and I had the great pleasure of documenting the Great Easter Vigil at St. Steven’s Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Alhambra on Saturday night. It was a splendid liturgy in a beautiful space. As you can see, Francesco has already started posting photos. Watch as more photos are posted and we offer our usual background, which in the case of St. Steven’s promises to be most unusual!

Christ is risen! Indeed he is risen!
