work

things struck me:

The light was intentionally covered over in the name of progress and modernization.

That there was nothing remarkable about its purpose which was to illuminate from the inside a painting of a landscape.

That people were fascinated about the light and trying to explain its longevity.

The discovery that the original plans of the owner at the time were to help those in need, and it was his light that was still burning.

Add to these the way the light was discovered (shining through the darkness), the “vestiges of past renovations,” and the artifacts of a time long past and the parallels to our faith are remarkable.
