Description
Sometimes as a photographer, I happen to be in just the right place at the right time. This was one such experience. This image was taken in Rome at Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini (Church of the Most Holy Trinity of Pilgrims) where the light rays were captured streaming in through the apse windows above the altar. The scene seems touched by a holy light. My title found inspiration in a Willie Nelson tune.
The first stone was laid on February 26, 1587, and consecration took place on June 12, 1616 and titled Santissima Trinità e San Benedetto. In subsequent centuries the parish and adjacent buildings continued to serve as a hospice for pilgrims, or as a hospital.
In 2008 Pope Benedict XVI entrusted the parish to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP), a society of apostolic life dedicated to the celebration and preservation of the Tridentine Mass, now an extraordinary form of the Roman Rite, the 1962 form of which is authorized for continued use within the Catholic Church.[1] The SS Trinità dei Pellegrini church provides the Latin Tridentine Mass for the local community, as well as tourists and pilgrims.
