EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the devout Orthodox faithful attending a poignant ceremony that re-enacts Jesus Christ's Deposition from the Cross. The image captures a powerful moment as an unrecognizable worshipper, seen from a low angle view, kisses a crucifix with deep reverence and devotion. Against the backdrop of the Penteli Monastery on Good Friday in Athens, Greece, this scene is filled with spiritual intensity. The believer stands alone in an open space surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and bathed in sunlight streaming through overcast clouds. The creative use of light creates an atmospheric and mysterious ambiance that adds to the mystic nature of this religious ceremony. The blue sky symbolizes faith and hope while emphasizing the significance of this solemn occasion for Greek Orthodox worshippers. The white color prevalent throughout signifies purity and traditional values deeply rooted in their culture. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the enduring power of religion and its ability to bring people together in prayerful worship. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, ancient rituals continue to shape our lives and provide solace during times of reflection such as Easter. Alkis Konstantinidis masterfully captures both the physicality and spirituality present within this momentous event through his lens. This print allows us to glimpse into a world where faith intertwines with tradition against a backdrop of natural beauty – truly capturing both heart and soul simultaneously.
