EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Philippe Lissac from Universal Images Group, we witness a deeply spiritual moment during the Lenten season in the Philippines. The image showcases a Filipino pilgrim immersed in the holy waters of Santa Lucia at the base of Mount Banahaw. Bathing in these sacred waters is an integral part of their religious ritual, symbolizing purification and renewal. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of faith and devotion as we see adults and children alike participating in this ancient tradition. The woman's serene expression reflects her unwavering belief, while nearby, a man gently guides a child through this significant baptismal experience. Christianity holds great importance to Filipinos, with Catholicism being widely practiced throughout the country. This image serves as a powerful representation of their deep-rooted religious customs and spirituality. As viewers, we are transported to this sacred space where religion intertwines with nature. The flowing water represents not only physical cleansing but also spiritual rejuvenation for those who seek solace and connection with their higher power. Philippe Lissac's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the individual moments within this larger gathering and the collective sense of devotion that unites them all. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and reminds us of the profound impact that faith can have on people's lives across different cultures around Asia.
