EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Muhammad Hamed, an Iraqi Christian woman is seen holding a cross during a prayer session inside the Syriac Orthodox Church of Mart Shmoni in Erbil, Iraq. The photograph was taken on April 14,2017, during the Good Friday prayers. The close-up shot focuses on the woman's hand as she clutches the cross with deep devotion and faith. Her face remains unrecognizable, allowing viewers to connect with her spirituality rather than her identity. The detailed composition showcases creative use of light and shadow within the church's interior, creating an atmospheric ambiance that enhances the religious ceremony. This photo encapsulates both tradition and worship as it depicts a moment of serene contemplation amidst chaos and uncertainty. The Christian cross symbolizes not only religious beliefs but also resilience and hope for many believers in Iraq who have faced persecution and displacement due to conflict. Through this image, Hamed captures the essence of worship - a sacred act that transcends borders and unites people in their shared faith. It serves as a reminder of the strength found in religion during challenging times while highlighting the importance of preserving cultural heritage amid adversity.
