Pilgrims pray at the Basilica of Our Lady of Aparecida, Brazils national saint, in the city of Aparecida, 165 km (103 miles) east of Sao Paulo October 12, 2010. The Basilica is Latin Americas most popular shrine and one of the worlds largest cathedrals. The shrine dates back to 1717, when three fishermen having a run of bad luck cast their nets in the Paraiba River and dragged up a headless statue of the Virgin Mary, venerated as Our Lady of Aparecida and named Brazils national saint in 1930. Every year millions of Brazilian and foreign pilgrims visit the shrine and about 100, 000 people usually attend services in Aparecida commemorating her every October 12.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a powerful moment of devotion and faith as pilgrims gather at the Basilica of Our Lady of Aparecida in Brazil. The basilica, located in the city of Aparecida, stands as Latin America's most revered shrine and one of the world's largest cathedrals. The origins of this sacred site trace back to 1717 when three struggling fishermen discovered a headless statue of the Virgin Mary while casting their nets in the Paraiba River. This statue came to be known as Our Lady of Aparecida and was officially declared Brazil's national saint in 1930. Every year on October 12th, millions of Brazilian and foreign pilgrims embark on a spiritual journey to pay homage to Our Lady. It is estimated that around 100,000 people attend services held in Aparecida during this commemoration. As captured by photographer Nacho Doce for Reuters Images, we are transported into an atmosphere filled with reverence and prayer. The image portrays individuals from various walks of life coming together under one roof to seek solace and guidance from their beloved patroness. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power that religion holds over people's lives, transcending borders and cultures. It reminds us that even amidst our daily struggles or uncertainties, there is always room for hope and belief in something greater than ourselves.
