La barca dei Santi Giacomo e Giovanni riposa nel sole della sera - Marina Grande Sorrento - Painting by Dino Carbetta
“The Boat of Saints James and John Rests in the Evening Sun - Marina Grande Sorrento – Painting by Dino Carbetta” ...
This moment resonates deeply with the sacred echoes of Scripture and the timeless beauty of creation. Framing the image, the words from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 4:20-22, were in my mind: “At once they left their nets and followed him….” This photograph invites the viewer into a serene Sunday afternoon in Marina Grande, where the energy of local life pulses through the tiny port, undisturbed by the usual bustle of tourists. The sun’s rays pierced through the clouds, transforming the skies into a canvas of luminous colors, turning an ordinary scene into a divine encounter. The explosion of color in the sky felt like a divine greeting, a welcoming gesture from Heaven to the lineage that once called this place home. Though I was not born in Marina Grande or Sorrento, the heritage of the Gulf of Naples runs deep in my veins—this is where my grandfather and his family are from. Each time I set foot in this village, it feels as though the very skies remember, responding with a vibrant display, as if celebrating my return. This fleeting moment of grace, captured through my lens, felt like a gift from Heaven, a celestial reminder that I am never far from my roots. As I reflect on this image, it speaks to me of God calling us not just in the grand, transformative moments but in the quiet, everyday scenes made extraordinary by His touch. Capturing this moment reminds me to seek these divine encounters not just through the lens, but with the eyes of faith. After capturing the last image, I rejoined the pilgrimage group for a meal at Ristorante di “Zi'Ntonio Mare.” As we dined, surrounded by fellowship and the rich flavors of the region, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. The day had been more than a photographic journey—it was a spiritual pilgrimage, a moment of connection with my heritage, faith, and creation's divine beauty.
