The Rosary


Toward the end of the day, devotions for the Hermits begin with time to say the Rosary in the church together. They sit in various places in the church and take turns speaking. This is one of the brothers during this time, kneeling and holding his Rosary beads. The late afternoon sun illuminates him as day comes to an end. Meditation in silence will follow, and then the Office of Vespers with the Hermits chanting in the chapel which is adjacent to the church.

Too bad you can't add sound on here so we could get a feeling for it. Although in this shot, it looks as silent and contemplative as can be. Wonderful moment.

Here's the cool thing... I actually did some digital sound recordings while there! I will be using them as a sound track for a slide show, later on.
