From before dawn to mid morning, groups of people climbed Mt. Jumullong Manglo, Guam, praying the rosary and stopping at the stations of the cross on the annual Good Friday pilgrimage. One group carried up a new 500 lb. cross to erect next to the others. As low cloud bore down on the hilltop, we felt the darkness of the crucifixion.

Then, while meditating at the top, we witnessed a Glory - a circular rainbow around the observer’s shadow, rarely seen from the ground - on the cloud just below us. It was as if we were looking at the light of Christ's resurrection.

Combining two photos allowed us to re-live the deep spiritual feelings from that moment of special beauty, of darkness and light juxtaposed. Using Photoshop, we combined our photo of the Glory and our photo of people at the nearby crosses. It was wonderful to share both the pilgrimage and the creative inspiration as a couple!
