Can you hold a photon?
You can't hold a photon in your hands because the photon is moving at the speed of light and in less than a nanosecond it will (depending on its wavelength) either be absorbed by the atoms of your hand and vanish, or it will pass through your hands and go along its merry way.
Can you catch a photon?
A theoretical physicist has explained a way to capture particles of light called photons, even at room temperature, a feat thought only possible at bone-chillingly cold temperatures. Usually, it happens at extremely low temperatures - less than a micro-kelvin, or a millionth of a degree above absolute zero.
