...and high marks.

Thanks for the comments and rating everyone !!
The story ?? Well, it's more the story of the "original" image tittle (and a piece of pastry history) but here it goes.. (sorry for my english, if you miss something just ask me..°)
This is a photograph taken late in the afternoon, a photograph of people during a Catholic procession. The original image was tittled “The Cake Hunters” and here is why...

First, I must say that I live in Marseille (France), where Catholic processions are a big event - and all these people are waiting for a cake called "Navettes"..

So it's Chef's Note :

Navettes are traditional little pastries made in the shape of a "navette" or small boat, 7 to 8 cm long. Their name recalls the voyage of Lazarus, his sister Martha and the two Saint Marys, who are said to have landed in Provence almost 2000 years ago in such a vessel, giving their name to the town of "Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer."
At Le Four des Navettes, near the Abbey of St. Victor in the heart of Marseille, navettes have been baked continuously since 1781. They are traditionally eaten after the Candlemas Day procession on February 2. The Archbishop of Marseille blesses an ovenload of these little cakes and according to tradition, ten days later, on February 12, the Black Virgin of the Abbey appears in the chapel.

In the old days, navettes were traditionally bought by the dozen, one for each month of the year, and then taken home with the famous blessed candles whose flame protected homes and stables from lightning.

If you are near Marseille on Candlemas Day, stop by the Four des Navettes where Jean-Claude Imbert carries on a tradition more than two centuries old.

Then (if you had the courage to read all this..:) you 'll say and so ? what's the story ?? I think only people look strange sometimes (Rosemary's Baby!)I don't know why, it's bizarre, don't you think..

Super story, Jean marc. Thank you.

Thank you King - english is a beautiful language but photography (for me) -even if it does not *say* everything - is easier ;-))

Your English is just fine Jean marc. Having had some experience with Catholic ceremonies as an outsider watching dispassionately, I actually really get this after reading your back story. Thanks for another educational experience.
