A beautiful feast ...III, a photo from Leiria, North

Photographer's Note

Here are the little Jesus before the procession. This feast dates from the 16th century and it's devoted to Our Lady of the Cage, the patron saint of Cortes, a very small town in the centre of Portugal. According to the legend, a long time ago, some shepherds found the image of our Lady in the surroundings and they built a litte shelter for her, which, according to the legend, looked much like a cage. Today, Our lady has a very beautiful church and every year there is a feast that lasts for several days. One of the highlights is the procession where many women carry little Jesus at the top of their heads, other carry trays. It's not one of the biggest precessions I've seen so far, far from that, but it's surely one of the most beautiful ones.

Bonsoir, chère ana,
Un choix de cadrage judicieux tout en réalisant un effet de focus sur la statue principale.
Une bien belle réussite.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Ola dear Ana

So lovely, cuty and also solemn portrait shot via great shallow exposure and pin-point appraoch. She can stand alone on the long procession so clearly.

All the best and have a good day! Takero

Hi Ana.

An interesting composition, well seen and taken with care. Yes, the feast itself must provide a great opportunity for the worshipers to take part in the procession and some priceless photographs. Thanks for sharing, have a nice weekend.

Viva Christo !!!
