EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1986, a group of deeply devoted pilgrims are seen gathered around the grotto, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of flickering candles. The grotto, a site of profound religious significance, is located in Lourdes, France, where according to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to a young girl named Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. The pilgrims, with their hands joined in prayer and their eyes closed in reverence, have come to pay homage to the Virgin Mary and seek her intercession. The candles they hold are not only symbols of their faith but also a tangible way to offer their devotion and contribute to the spiritual atmosphere of the site. The grotto at Lourdes is a place of pilgrimage for millions of people from around the world, and the practice of lighting candles is an integral part of the experience. The candles not only create a beautiful and otherworldly ambiance but also serve as a reminder of the collective faith and hope of the pilgrims. The photograph captures the essence of the pilgrimage experience, with the pilgrims lost in their prayers and the candles casting an ethereal glow over the scene. The image transports us to a place of deep spiritual connection and reminds us of the power of faith and the importance of seeking solace and guidance from higher powers. The grotto at Lourdes continues to be a source of inspiration and comfort for countless pilgrims, and the sight of the pilgrims lighting candles remains a powerful and moving testament to their faith and devotion.
