Light has always been a leading symbol in Greek Orthodox religion, whenever it came from sermons, Holy Scriptures or even, as Apocalypse, from heaven...This is why the architecture of the old and historic Byzantine churches provided so the light could penetrate through the windows in a very certain way and especially at sites where priests were conducting special parts of the service, for example reading the Evangile. This imposing penetration of light can be specially observed in the great St Sophia church in Istanbul(Constantinople).
This is a terrific picture,Glenn, to enhance what I mentioned above.
best wishes alexander
Old churches are always filled with some special light.
Light in this photo is the main component that gives a special sense of what is happening.
That is the basis of skill - not just show a picture, but to convey the mood and spirit what photographer was feeling at this moment.
You have done it!
