Haitian Vodou Altar in Beijing Nave
Purple and white cloths drape over a wooden table holding three lit candles, their flames flickering against the dim interior. Small ceramic bowls filled with fruit and grains rest beside the wax pillars. Overhead, thin strands of warm string lights hang across the high ceiling, washing the wet stone floor in soft light where raindrops have gathered. Deep shadows pool along the tall, curved walls of the nave. Outside the high windows, the city lights begin to glow through the monsoon rain, creating a blurred backdrop of orange and yellow dots. The altar stands slightly off-center, anchored by the weight of the offerings and the steady burn of the wicks. A drop of melted wax trails down the side of the nearest candle holder.
