Impulsive picture produces 'miracle' shot

        A TAVEUNI man claims a picture of the religious icon Mother Mary, the Mother of Jesus, that he took with his mobile phone at Solevu in Bua, produced a completely different picture.
Iosefo Matailima says the picture that came out was of Mother Mary carrying a baby.
Mr Matailima came to Solevu to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Catholic Church there.
During the celebration in Solevu at about 2pm, Mr Matailima left to drink yaqona.
On the way, he decided to take a photo of Mother Mary.
Mr Matailima said he was taken by surprise when the picture showed the icononic Mother Mary with a small child. "It is good news to me," Mr Matailima said.
Mr Matailima said when he saw the picture, he told some group of people to tell the chief guest at the function, the head of the Catholic Church in Fiji, His Grace Archbishop Petero Mataca.
The photo was passed around to more than 2000 people to see.
His Grace Archbishop Mataca reportedly sighted it as well but made no comment.
Mr Matailima admits he does not"usually pray or attend church gatherings".
Mr Matailima, who has daughters, said the photo told him his family would be blessed.
"Why me out of all the people out there?" he said.
