"The Parents of the Celebrant after the First Mass" ("Los Padres del Celebrante Después de la Misa Nueva") benedetto This was painted by HenrikThis a truly touching painting of a celebrants' parents greet their son after his first mass. All the emotion is capture in this lovely painting by Jos Alcazar Tejedor. The recognition of the trials and suffering and years of formation to get to this point by both the priest and his parents. Truly a wonderful gift for priests, their families, and their friends. # seminary # seminarian
