EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Ammar Awad, a man finds solace and connection with the divine as he prays inside the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The photograph, taken on December 24,2011, transports us to a sacred space where faith and devotion intertwine. The worshipper remains unrecognizable, emphasizing the universality of prayer and highlighting that it is not about individual identity but rather a collective human experience. Bathed in ethereal light filtering through stained glass windows, his silhouette blends seamlessly with the ancient pillars surrounding him. This creative use of light and shadow adds depth to the photo, evoking an atmosphere of reverence. The Church of the Nativity holds immense religious significance for Christians worldwide as it marks the birthplace of Jesus Christ. Against its weathered walls and amidst an environment steeped in history and tradition, this devout Palestinian seeks spiritual guidance. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that religion transcends borders and brings people together despite their differences. It serves as a reminder that faith can provide comfort even in times of political unrest or personal struggle. Through Ammar Awad's lens, we witness both an individual's intimate moment with God and humanity's enduring quest for meaning within these hallowed walls.
