  • A Roman Catholic nun in grey habit and black veil draws a clean white altar cloth over the stone altar in the church of Sveti Mihovil in Korcula, Croatia.  The altarpiece is a mannerist painting by Domenico Maggiotto, 18th century, of the Trinity with two saints, one wearing a halo.  The nun concentrates on her task, which, even though a simple daily one, seems part of her spirituality.  No doubt she whispers a prayer as the cloth slides over the stone.
