EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a moment of profound devotion and spirituality as penitents light their candles during the Calvario brotherhood procession in Malaga, southern Spain. The image transports us to Holy Week, a time when hundreds of processions unfold around the clock, attracting thousands of visitors. The scene is shrouded in an air of mystery and reverence. The unrecognizable figures clad in traditional Christian clothing hold their flickering candles against the backdrop of an urban cityscape. Their silhouettes are beautifully juxtaposed against the weathered brick wall behind them, creating a striking visual contrast. The creative use of lighting adds an ethereal quality to the photograph. Each candle flame illuminates the faces hidden beneath cone-shaped hoods, casting long shadows that seem oddly symbolic. It is as if these worshippers are enveloped by both darkness and divine light simultaneously. This picture captures not only a religious ceremony but also showcases how nature and environment play integral roles in such traditions. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves transported to another era—an era where monasteries and nunneries were at the heart of spiritual life. Jon Nazca's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully into this sacred moment—a moment that encapsulates centuries-old customs merging with contemporary society. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that faith transcends time and continues to inspire awe-inspiring rituals like those witnessed during Semana Santa—the Holy Week celebration
