The inspiration for this blog came from the photo that I shot at Chimayo, New Mexico in front of the "Vigil Store." What I really love about this sign is that these three items are not expected to be advertised together, they point to the holy, but also to the everyday, and make no excuses for the everyday and the holy merged and unified.
