EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Max Rossi, we are transported to the heart of Saint Peter's Square at the Vatican on a crisp December day in 2005. Standing tall and proud, the magnificent Vatican Christmas tree takes center stage, radiating an aura of festive anticipation. Reaching a staggering height of 30 meters (100 feet), this majestic pine tree was generously donated to Pope Benedict XVI by the town of Afiesi, nestled in the picturesque province of Upper Austria. Its sheer size and grandeur perfectly complement the awe-inspiring surroundings, creating a breathtaking sight for all who gather here. As daylight gently fades into twilight, one can only imagine the excitement building up among those present for the upcoming lighting ceremony. The vibrant colors adorning each branch seem to dance with joy as they await their moment to illuminate Saint Peter's Square with an enchanting glow that will undoubtedly captivate visitors from near and far. This photograph not only captures a visually stunning scene but also symbolizes unity and goodwill during this sacred time of year. It serves as a reminder that generosity knows no boundaries or distances when it comes to spreading holiday cheer. Max Rossi's skillful lens has immortalized this extraordinary moment in time, allowing us to share in its splendor and feel touched by its profound significance within our hearts.
