A Man and a Priest in Sicily

November 11, 2011

“Signora!” called out a red-faced man in baroque Scicli. “Come here!”

I sauntered over, and he beckoned a young priest to his side.

“Please take our picture.”

I obliged.

Afterwards the man said, “Do you know why I asked you to take our picture?”

“No, why?”

“Because,” the man beamed, his face reddening even more, “this priest, he is my son.”
