EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by REUTERS photographer Ammar Awad, we witness a mesmerizing moment during the Christian Orthodox Holy Fire ceremony at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem's Old City. The image showcases a group of devout worshippers holding flickering candles, their faces illuminated by the warm glow as they participate in this sacred ritual. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and devotion as these individuals engage in an age-old tradition that holds deep significance for Christians worldwide. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre itself is considered one of Christianity's holiest sites, believed to be built upon the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection site of Jesus Christ. Through this photograph, we are transported into a realm where faith takes center stage. Each candle represents a personal connection to spirituality and serves as a symbol of hope and enlightenment. As these faithful followers hold their candles aloft, their collective prayers seem to merge with the ethereal light surrounding them. Ammar Awad skillfully captures not only the visual beauty but also conveys a sense of spiritual unity among those present at this profound event. This image serves as a poignant reminder that religion can bring people together from all walks of life, transcending boundaries and fostering harmony amidst diversity.
