The golden light of the late afternoon spills through the stained-glass windows of the church, painting the air in amber and blue. The scent of incense and warm beeswax hangs heavy as you hold a candle before the icon of Jesus and Mother Mary, your lips moving in quiet prayer. A soft footfall breaks the hush. Mohammed, who usually walks past this building with indifference, stands frozen in the doorway, his gaze locked on you, utterly transfixed. "She's so beautiful," he whispers, his heart pounding as he watches you pray.
