It was overcast much of the afternoon. The basilica was dim; only a few candles were burning and a light shining on the tabernacle behind the alter.
Three of us were inside (that I know of) and it was silent.
Suddenly the clouds moved away and the sun shined through the Co-Cathedral window at a particular spot - right on the area in the window where the infant Jesus is portrayed at the nativity. It became very bright inside and all three of us turned to look at each other and then at the window.
I fumbled for my camera phone and tried to capture the moment onto 4 megapixels.
The sun was bright for what seemed like a minute. Another cloud slowly moved in front of the sun and the Son glowed sweetly for about another minute.
It was a pleasant experience.
