Prayer Vigil Photo Gallery

We are pleased to share with you our Prayer Vigil for the Earth Photo Gallery. The Gallery presents a visual record of the rich tapestry of participants, cultures, religions and beliefs that incorporate the Prayer Vigil.

The Gallery consists of four different photo exhibits:

2007 Prayer Vigil for the Earth (new)
2006 Prayer Vigil for the Earth
Overview of the Prayer Vigil
Photo History of the Prayer Vigil for the Earth: 1993 to 2007

Photos in each of these exhibits (except 2006) contain captions and text identifying the participant or event and provides more in-depth information and context. We believe the text is as important as the images.

To connect to these exhibits, please click here.

The following is a guide to viewing the Prayer Vigil photos once you clicked on the link above:

  • You will find four thumbnail images on the right of your screen, one for each exhibit. Just click on thumbnail of your choice to view the images.

  • Once you click on a thumbnail, you will see descriptive text of the exhibit. By the text will be a series of image thumbnails. To see all the images in that particular photo exhibit, please click on the first image. This will bring an enlarged version of that image, with text on the right side of your screen. In the upper right hand corner of the screen, you will see the word "NEXT" with the next image above it. Click on that image to go forward to the next image. Repeat the process to review the entire collection of images with associated text.

  • For the best viewing experience, click on the Slideshow button in the upper right of the window. This will open a new full-screen Web browser window with large photos.

    While the Slideshow is playing, move your mouse over the caption icon on the right side every time there is a blue text bubble. The blue text bubble indicates that caption is included. While you hold your mouse over the bubble, the playback pauses so you can read it. Playback will resume as soon as you move your mouse away from the bubble.

    You can also adjust the playback speed of the Slideshow to make it go slower or faster. Use the scale controller in the lower right of your window by clicking the plus (+) or minus (-) signs. You can also use the + and - keys on your keyboard.

    When you are finished viewing the Slideshow, close the Web browser window by clicking the Close icon in the browser title bar at the top.
