Holy Water

     Some times a Resemblance can be so uncanny as to be a Replica and if Recognized in a situation that is theme-appropriate it is sure to have staying power. Such is the case with the falling baptismal water that Resembles a Cross and Rosary. Although this story first appeared in October 2009, it still has resurrections on the internet, usually as a chain letter with a message of faith and prayer, and enjoys popularity at varying intervals with a new one occurring at the moment.

      “The photo was captured during Valentino Mora’s baptism. The moment priest Osvaldo Macaya throws holy water, the falling liquid forms a rosary. The story started on October 10, when the month-old baby, son of Erica Mora, a 21-years-old single mother was baptized. The photo of Valentino’s baptism has raised the locals’ faith. They go to Erica Mora’s house to touch the boy.” [cadena3]

      On the other hand the priest himself wasn't very happy with it:

      “The photographer, [María Silvana], was very happy [when she discovered the image] and soon the whole town knew about it. I don’t like those signs, I hold the sacraments. Actually the Bible for this week says ‘this perverse and evil generation asks for a sign, and it will not be given to them because it has the sign of Jonah, and here there’s someone else besides Jonah, referring to Jesus’ death at the cross for everyone’s salvation”, says father Macaya.
