She captured about 200 photos of the large white bear as he climbed up a hill that rose above the barren island.</p><p>What happened next was a truly stunning moment that left Power "beyond amazed." The polar bear walked up to the huge white cross perched on top of the hill. He stood up and laid a massive paw against the cross, the squatted down and looked up in "apparent reverence as if in prayer."</p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>Power tells the <a href="http://ia.thecanadianpress.com/2017/03/30/photographer-captures-polar-bear-in-reverential-prayer-in-front-of-cross/">Canadian Press </a>that she didn't actually notice what she had captured until she scanned through the photos later, exclaiming, "Holy crap, he's praying!"</p><p>Police have issued a warning to people in the area to stay away from the bear - even if he appears pretty pious. </p><div><figure><a href="http://ia.thecanadianpress.com/2017/03/30/photographer-captures-polar-bear-in-reverential-prayer-in-front-of-cross/" target="_blank"><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_1050px.jpg 1050w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_1150px.jpg 1150w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_1250px.jpg 1250w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_1350px.jpg 1350w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_1450px.jpg 1450w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_1550px.jpg 1550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/15078054_GH_content_1630px.jpg 1630w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="http://ia.thecanadianpress.com/2017/03/30/photographer-captures-polar-bear-in-reverential-prayer-in-front-of-cross/" target="_blank">Jessica Power</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><strong>What do you think?
