EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Greek Orthodox Easter tradition of Botides on the picturesque island of Corfu. In this ancient ritual, a clay pot filled with water is hurled to the ground, symbolizing the so-called "First Resurrection" on Holy Saturday. The image, taken by Alkis Konstantinidis for Reuters Images on April 7,2018, showcases the aftermath of this impactful act. The damaged clay pot lies shattered on the ground, its remains scattered across an exterior courtyard. From above, we gain a unique perspective that allows us to appreciate both the creative use of space and the cultural significance embedded in this religious ceremony. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as dark clouds loom overhead - a weathered backdrop adding drama to an already powerful scene. The Botides tradition holds deep meaning within Greek Orthodox culture and serves as a reminder of faith and renewal during Easter celebrations. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported into a world where traditions intertwine seamlessly with spirituality. Though devoid of people, their absence only enhances our focus on these symbolic remnants left behind. Alkis Konstantinidis skillfully captures not just an event but also invites us to contemplate how religion shapes our environment and influences our collective identity. This image serves as a testament to both human creativity and devotion while offering viewers an opportunity for reflection and appreciation of Greece's rich cultural heritage.
