In this print captured by Reuters, we witness a deeply spiritual moment as a Catholic man fervently prays at the site believed to be visited by the Virgin Mary in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The image transports us to June 25,2009, when millions of pilgrims from across the globe flocked to this small Bosnian town after six local youngsters claimed to have witnessed apparitions of Holy Mary there nearly three decades ago.

His closed eyes and clasped hands reflect his unwavering belief in the divine presence that is said to have graced this very spot. The sunlight gently illuminates his face, casting a warm glow that seems symbolic of the hope and solace sought by those who embark on these sacred journeys.
