EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken by Miguel Vidal for Reuters Images, we are transported to the Santiago de Compostela Gothic cathedral in northern Spain. The image captures a profound moment as a nun walks with a priest's suit delicately held in her hands. The significance of this scene lies in the deep-rooted Catholic beliefs associated with Santiago de Compostela. Catholics consider this sacred site to be the final resting place of Saint James, one of Jesus' apostles. For over 1,000 years, pilgrims from all corners of Europe have embarked on arduous journeys to reach this hallowed ground. Every year, hundreds of thousands of devoted individuals undertake the long and challenging pilgrimage along various routes leading to Santiago de Compostela. Many choose to traverse these paths on foot or by bicycle while adorned with the traditional symbol of their faith - a seashell. This photograph encapsulates both reverence and dedication as it showcases the convergence between religious devotion and personal sacrifice. It serves as a poignant reminder that spirituality can manifest itself through acts both grand and humble. Miguel Vidal's masterful composition invites us into an intimate moment within this majestic cathedral, where centuries-old traditions continue to thrive amidst modern times. Through his lens, we witness not only history but also the enduring power of faith that unites people across generations and continents.
