Description
Photograph of two children sitting on cushions behind two circular tables during their first birthday celebration. On each table are bowls of food, money and a cake decorated with Korean writing. The child on the right is biting into an apple. The child on the left holds an apple in his left hand. "Both babies were born at almost the same time in neighboring houses. This is their first birthday but their combined ages is four. Each one was two years old the day before their birthday and still are two years old and will be for many months. Over here ages increase only at New Years - but everyone is one year old the second he is born." Photo from Fr. Cappell, MM
