EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, Spanish legionnaires demonstrate their unwavering devotion as they carry a statue of the Christ of Mena during Holy Week in Malaga. The solemn ceremony takes place outside a church, setting the stage for the forthcoming Mena brotherhood procession. The image showcases an unrecognizable worshipper's hand delicately cradling the statue, emphasizing the deep reverence and respect bestowed upon this religious icon. The creative use of composition highlights both the cross shape formed by the legionnaires' arms and the copy space surrounding them, allowing viewers to contemplate their own faith. This powerful display of Catholicism is steeped in tradition and serves as a testament to people's enduring commitment to Jesus Christ. Against a backdrop of nature and unpredictable weather conditions, these devoted individuals willingly make sacrifices to honor their beliefs. Jon Nazca skillfully captures this momentous occasion with his lens, encapsulating not only religious fervor but also showcasing how spirituality can unite communities. This photograph invites contemplation on themes such as worship, sacrifice, and faith while reminding us that traditions have an enduring place in our modern world.
