EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Ammar Awad, worshippers are seen praying next to the closed doors of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem's Old City. The photograph, taken on February 27,2018, showcases a moment of deep faith and devotion against the backdrop of an urban city. The unrecognizable woman featured in the photo is shown with her head bowed down in prayer, surrounded by pillars and architectural elements that symbolize religious significance. The closed doors of the church serve as a poignant reminder of barriers faced by believers during times when access to places of worship may be restricted or limited. Awad's creative use of lighting highlights both the solemnity and hope present within this scene. Despite being outside and exposed to weather conditions, these worshippers remain steadfast in their commitment to their religion. Their dedication is evident through their posture and gestures as they seek solace and connection with a higher power. This photograph captures not only a specific moment but also represents a larger narrative about faith, spirituality, and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a testament to how people find strength within themselves even when faced with external obstacles.
