PhotoFeed Contest - Black & White Photography Round 167: Blessings [ENG/ESP]
“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
Marcus Aurelius

Blessings
A blessing is the act of invoking divine favor, protection, or grace upon people or objects, expressing wishes for well-being, prosperity, and happiness.
According to biblical and Christian tradition, blessings are a way of bringing God’s favor into daily life, often symbolized by the sign of the cross or by words of good wishes.
During Holy Week, I had the opportunity to visit several churches in the city as part of the activities typical of that time of year, one of which was Saint Joseph Church, founded and run by the Redemptorist missionaries.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
Bendiciones
Una bendición es el acto de invocar el favor, la protección o la gracia divina sobre las personas u objetos, expresando deseos de bienestar, prosperidad y felicidad.
Según la tradición bíblica y cristiana, las bendiciones son una forma de traer el favor de Dios a la vida cotidiana, con frecuencia simbolizado por la señal de la cruz o por palabras de buenos deseos.
Durante la pasada Semana Santa, tuve la oportunidad de visitar varios templos de la ciudad con ocasión de las actividades propias de esa época del año, siendo la Iglesia San José, fundada y regentada por los misioneros redentoristas, uno de esos templos.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.

All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
