Title: Interesting photo -- miracle?
Post by: Matthew on March 25, 2010, 10:11:41 AM

An amazing picture became a message of faith in Spain . This was taken at the baptism of Valentino Mora, son of Erica, a single mom of 21 who asked the photographer to take a picture of her son for free.

The photo of the baptism of Valentino Mora is sweeping the Internet, because at the time the priest pours the Holy water over his head, the water flows in the shape of a rosary (see photo below).

This story began at the Parish of the Assumption of Our Lady in Cordova , Spain , where the baptism of a one month baby took place. At the time that Valentino came to the baptismal font for the sacrament of baptism, Erica asked the photographer Maria Silvana Salles, who was hired by other parents baptizing their babies, to take a photo of her son as a favor, since the young mother had no way of paying for it. The photographer, moved by Erica's request, agreed to take a photo of Valentino.

Maria Silvana works with a traditional camera and had to send the film to be developed to a shop in Cordova. When she received the photos, she noticed with surprise that the water poured from the head of Valentino was a perfect rosary.

The photo of the baptism of Valentino has awakened faith in the people of Cordova who come to the humble home of Erica and Valentino Mora to touch him.

The truth is that this sign of faith has mobilized this town in Cordova, whose neighbors go to Maria Silvana's store to buy the picture as if it were a prayer card.

well the right side of the "cross" is tilted upward. You would think that if it were natural, there would be other droplets sprinkling down about it. In fact, if it were natural, one would think that there would be droplets all around the cross.

But I assume this was poured with the aim of a steady flow, so there shouldn't even be a cross. The beads I suppose could happen, but not the cross. I don't believe this is possible.

Assuming the photo wasn't edited, I personally think it would be a miracle. I'm only using my intuition, however.
