EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Miguel Vidal, a penitent stands in anticipation, ready to commence the procession of the Veracruz brotherhood during Holy Week in Pontevedra, northern Spain. The image captures the essence of devotion and faith as hundreds of Easter processions unfold around the clock, attracting throngs of visitors from far and wide. The juxtaposition between the town's urban cityscape and the solemnity of this religious ceremony is striking. Against a backdrop of architectural beauty, an unrecognizable figure dressed in traditional religious clothes stands alone in an open space. Bathed in darkness except for a single candle illuminating their silhouette, they exude an aura of mystery. This photograph beautifully conveys both individual worship and collective reverence. As one person prepares to embark on this sacred journey, we are reminded that religion has the power to unite communities and bring people together under shared beliefs. The atmosphere is palpable with anticipation as prayers are whispered into the night air. Through creative use of composition and lighting, Vidal captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions tied to spirituality. This image serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith amidst modernity—a reminder that traditions can thrive even within contemporary settings.
