La Barca Celeste di Gesù riposa in Marina Grande Sorrento
“The Celestial Boat of Jesus rests in Marina Grande Sorrento”…
This sunset image of the lone antique fishing boat is the most iconic of the seaside views from Sorrento. The lone boat represents many perceptions and creative thoughts and portrays imagery of stillness and beauty among the restless seas. It reminds me of Saint Matthew’s account of Jesus’ calming of the winds and the seas: "As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him. Suddenly a violent storm came upon the sea so that the boat was being swamped by waves, but he was asleep. They came and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!” He said to them, "Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. The men were amazed and said, "What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?" (Matt. 8:23-27). One of the highlights of my Italian journey was stumbling upon the tiny Marina Grande fishing village. It was as if I’d walked back in time and merged into this ageless world with its own pace and traditions. Life here seemingly has its rhythm—a strongly united community tenaciously anchored to its family principles, hard work, and religious traditions. They love the sea and live in symbiosis with it; time seems to move more slowly than anywhere in the world. My eyes were blessed with an extraordinarily beautiful canvas as a permanent smile measured my face, and my camera gazed upon this tiny bay nestled within the bygone fishing village. As night fell, the water reflections and resting fishing boats posed for a few more images as fish jumped for their dinner. It was time to enjoy the gifts of the day’s catch at Ristorante di “Zi'Ntonio Mare.” The epicurean delights, especially the calamari, olive bread, wine, and the main course of Il pesce San Pietro (The St. Peter's fish), were authentic perfection—just like this perfect piccola baia italiana della perfezione (Italian small bay of perfection).
