Consecration: Venerable Sao Khon places a burning stick of incense, 1987

1987

Venerable Sao Khon places a burning stick of incense before the altar. He has also lit the candle that will drip into the bowl of holy water. More often I have seen this Venerable hold the candle over the water with his hand while he is chanting.
