EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a powerful moment of devotion as pilgrims hold candles during the Corpus Domini procession led by Pope Francis at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, Italy. The image, captured by renowned photographer Tony Gentile, transports us to a night filled with religious fervor and spiritual unity. The unrecognizable worshippers stand against a black background, their faces hidden but their faith shining through. Each individual holds a candle aloft, its flame casting an ethereal glow upon their gloved hands. The creative use of light and darkness creates an atmosphere that is both solemn and awe-inspiring. As part of this sacred Catholic ceremony, these dedicated followers illuminate the path before them with flickering lanterns of faith. Their unified presence forms a mesmerizing procession that stretches beyond our field of vision – multiple bodies moving as one towards spiritual enlightenment. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the power and significance held within acts of worship. It captures not only the physical act of holding candles but also symbolizes the inner illumination experienced by those who participate in such rituals. Through Tony Gentile's lens, we are invited to contemplate our own connection to spirituality and reflect on the profound impact it can have on individuals and communities alike. This image stands as testament to both the enduring traditions upheld by pilgrims worldwide and their unwavering dedication to their chosen religion.
