EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, members of the Samaritan sect are seen participating in a sacred Passover sacrifice ceremony on Mount Gerizim near the West Bank city of Nablus. The image, captured by photographer Ammar Awad on April 28,2010, offers a glimpse into the religious practices and traditions observed by this ancient community. The Samaritans trace their roots back to the biblical Kingdom of Israel and have preserved their unique customs throughout history. Similar to Judaism, they hold Passover as one of their most significant festivals. This annual event commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Against a breathtaking backdrop of rugged mountains and clear blue skies, these devout individuals gather to perform age-old rituals that connect them with their spiritual heritage. Dressed in traditional attire, they engage in prayers and offer sacrifices as an act of devotion during this holy occasion. This visually striking photograph not only showcases the beauty of Mount Gerizim but also highlights the rich tapestry of faith that exists within our world today. It serves as a reminder that diverse religious practices continue to thrive amidst modernity while honoring ancient traditions passed down through generations. Through his lens, Awad captures both reverence and tranquility emanating from those taking part in this solemn ceremony—an evocative testament to humanity's enduring quest for spirituality across time and borders.
