EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jerry Lampen in 2004, we witness a deeply spiritual moment as an Ethiopian woman engrosses herself in the words of the Bible at the Holy Sepulchre Church in the Old City of Jerusalem. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, a significant day for Christians worldwide. As Christians commemorate the Last Supper of Jesus Christ on this solemn occasion, monks can be seen walking towards the Holy Sepulchre Church to partake in a special service. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and devotion, evident through the woman's intense focus on her sacred reading material. The composition of this photograph is strikingly powerful; it captures both religious fervor and cultural diversity. The Ethiopian woman represents a rich heritage that has found its way to one of Christianity's most revered sites. Her presence serves as a reminder that faith transcends borders and unites believers from all corners of the world. Jerry Lampen's lens skillfully freezes this poignant moment in time, allowing us to reflect upon our own spirituality and connection to ancient traditions. Through his lens, we are transported to Jerusalem's historic streets where centuries-old rituals continue to be practiced with unwavering dedication. This remarkable image stands as a testament to humanity's enduring quest for divine guidance and serves as an inspiration for those seeking solace within their faith during times of uncertainty or reflection.
