Unforgettable Italy - Attending to a special service
Greetings friends of Italy!
First of all, congrats for the amazing consecutive victories during the games of Squadra Azzurra at Euro football championship! Watching the games was pure pleasure to me, it is great to see such a significant progress and enhancement of the team performance! I am really looking forward to enjoy the next games! I am pretty sure this championship will be unforgettable :)
Now let's get back to the topic of this contest ;)
Something very, very special happened to me during one of my unforgettable photographic travels to amazing Italy. In particular this was the photo trip where we explored the beauties of Tuscany in the mystical autumn season, hoping for more great landscapes underlined by the mystery of the fogs. We had ten days in the heart of this beautiful region, however one of the days we decided to take a day-trip to Assisi and some of you may know that Assisi is in the region or Perugia. We spent a lovely day there, took so many photographs but at the end of the day, shortly after the sunset I was attracted by a small church and a street having the same name - "San Damiano". I was very curious, as I am named after the same name and I proudly carry the name "Damian". :)
So we went to see how that church looks from outside and then we entered inside. The moment we stepped in, we came into the middle of a room full with people, sitting on benches and singing songs/psalms in Italian. We took a seat and were instantly given small booklets with the lyrics of the songs.
Here happened the magic! The moment I started to sing, it was easy to me to follow the melody of the song and understand the lyrics! This was an extraordinary experience to me as I don't speak Italian! We stayed until the end of the church service that was about an hour later, maybe more, I didn't check my clock as time was passing in a different way...
So, my photo today isn't very spectacular, it is just to illustrate the strange and powerful event from that evening.
Thank you, stay safe and strong!
