EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Enrique Calvo, a sea of penitents patiently await the commencement of the procession of the Sant Crist de la Sang brotherhood during Holy Week in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The image, taken on March 29,2018, showcases a moment filled with spirituality and devotion. The photograph exudes a sense of unity as these individuals come together to celebrate their shared beliefs and faith. Dressed in traditional Christian clothing and disguised under cone-shaped hoods that render them unrecognizable, they form an oddly mesmerizing crowd against the backdrop of Palma's streets. From above, we witness an awe-inspiring view that highlights both the vastness of this religious ceremony and its creative use of public space. The air is thick with anticipation as each person prepares for this ritualistic event symbolizing resurrection and renewal. This snapshot offers a glimpse into Spanish culture and tradition during Easter festivities known as Semana Santa. It serves as a reminder that religion continues to play an integral role in shaping communities worldwide. Enrique Calvo's skillful lens captures not only the exterior beauty but also reveals real people who are deeply committed to their religious practices. This powerful image invites contemplation on themes such as faith, heritage, and the enduring power of collective rituals.
