[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Shot in the resurrection service. On Athos, as in all the Orthodox Christian churches round the world, some minutes after midnight all light is put of, except of an oil-lamp on the Altar. Then the chief-priest lightes his candle from it and comes on the altar-gate chanting: "Come and receive light from the un-setting light and glorify Christ, risen from the dead". And the faithful come to the gate, to light their candles from his. And so, resurrection service starts.
I adjusted only brightness and contrast in Photoshop, preffering to leave red candles' light as it is.
