EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Ammar Awad, a worshipper is seen touching the closed doors of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem's Old City. The low angle view emphasizes the significance and grandeur of this religious ceremony taking place in an urban city. The unrecognizable figure, bathed in natural light, appears to be deep in prayer as they connect with their faith. Despite being unable to enter the church due to its closed doors, their devotion remains unwavering. This photograph beautifully captures both the air of spirituality and creative use of space within a bustling city environment. The closed door symbolizes not only physical barriers but also represents moments when we feel disconnected from our beliefs or spiritual practices. Yet, it is precisely during these times that our faith can become even stronger as we seek solace and guidance. This image serves as a reminder that religion transcends boundaries and exists beyond any specific building or structure. It highlights how people find ways to express their devotion regardless of external circumstances. Through touch, this worshipper finds comfort and connection with something greater than themselves. Ammar Awad's poignant photograph encapsulates the essence of religion, faith, and human resilience amidst challenges faced in everyday city life.
