Morning service at the pop festival on the Isle of Wight
Morning service at the pop festival on the Isle of Wight. While the festival organisers pleaded with the crowd to leave the arena so that they could prepare for the days programme, across the road in a quiet field Mass is being held. Confession time was a stroll across the field with a Father, and the altar was a table on the back of a farm trailer. 30th August 1970

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - the morning service at the iconic pop festival on the Isle of Wight. As festival organizers desperately pleaded with the massive crowd to vacate the arena for preparations, an unexpected scene unfolded across the road in a serene field. In stark contrast to the pulsating energy of music and entertainment, a Mass was being held under open skies. Festival-goers seeking solace from their wild revelry found themselves drawn towards this spiritual oasis. Confession time became a peaceful stroll across the field, accompanied by a Father who offered guidance and forgiveness. The makeshift altar, perched upon a humble farm trailer, served as a sacred space where faith intersected with counterculture. It symbolized unity amidst diversity, reminding us that even within unconventional settings, spirituality can thrive. Dated August 30th, 1970, this photograph encapsulates an era defined by rebellion against societal norms while simultaneously exploring alternative paths to enlightenment. It speaks volumes about human nature's innate yearning for connection and meaning beyond mere entertainment. Peter Stone's lens beautifully captures this juxtaposition between religion and popular culture - two seemingly disparate worlds converging on one extraordinary day. This image serves as both an artifact of its time and an enduring testament to our collective search for purpose amid chaos.
