Also one asks, in this day of cyber-magic-trickery: are they real?

At least some are, we believe. You discern.

This one, according to a website called Viral Believer, was taken in a cave in Honduras during a mission trip to Vera Cruz, Copan. Allegedly, there was no light shining into the part of the cave those who photographed it were in and was recorded on a basic flip phone camera. “It is truly beautiful!” says the site. And it is.

Pinterest and social media are loaded with such images, some impressive, some less so. There are not always many details.

Is this a tic of the camera?

Out of incense?

Below, one we’ve had before, a week before an ill young man passed.

This has the energy of the real thing.

The aurora borealis is famous for such wondrous images.

Angels in the flare of massive Australian wildfire?

Oh, and a botanical garden in British Columbia.

Says Viral Believer (about the above): “A Baptist minister, Miles McPherson, is said to have used his iPad to photograph the men leading the worship when the light-imbued form was captured. In disbelief, the pastor took another photo, and again, the angelic light appeared beside the men.”

Angels in Athos, Greece?

Well, sure: light can play all kinds of games — but who are we to say Heaven doesn’t form that light, shaping it as Heaven may?
