Sinful Photographers Spoil Don Bosco’s Image | Ep. 106

Don Bosco’s good clerics, especially the upperclassmen, tried unsuccessfully to get a picture of him. Pencil and brush balked at the task. The good saint's features always turned out altered and unrecognizable. They took him to a photographer, but even he could not succeed, although Don Bosco was, outwardly at least, cooperative. It was very odd! One day, when this was mentioned in his presence, he remarked, "If taking my picture would help souls, I would be all for it. Otherwise, I don't see any need for it." Souls were all he cared for!
If that is all true, then how do I have a picture of him on my desk? Watch till the end to hear the answer to one of the strangest mysteries in the history of photography.
