Behind TheBars of Faith
The are here like thousands of other Romanians. They are waiting for their moment to pray to a real icon covered in wax and sealed so no one can pick pieces from the saint and take it home as a souvenir to place on their personal alter at home.
For over eight decades they have made the trek to receive and have a better life. Now they not only wish for themselves, but for their children that don't have time to embrue the old ways via religion.

Humility and indifference ...Fatigue and humbleness ...
Is it their all luggage in old age?
And they came to the church, hoping for a miracle?
Very strong and emotional photo!
