In this print captured by REUTERS, members of the Samaritan sect are seen participating in a traditional Passover sacrifice ceremony on Mount Gerizim, near the West Bank city of Nablus. The image transports us to April 17,2011, when these devout individuals gathered to observe religious practices similar to Judaism. The Samaritans proudly trace their roots back to the biblical Kingdom of Israel, which existed in what is now known as the northern occupied West Bank. This ancient community has preserved its unique customs and traditions throughout history, making them an intriguing subject for photographers like Darren Whiteside. As we gaze upon this photograph, we witness a moment frozen in time – a testament to faith and devotion. The solemn expressions on their faces reveal the deep spiritual connection they share with their ancestors and their commitment to upholding age-old rituals. The composition beautifully captures both the natural surroundings and human presence. Against the backdrop of Mount Gerizim's majestic landscape, members of the Samaritan sect stand united in prayer and reverence. Their attire reflects cultural heritage while also symbolizing unity within their community. This powerful image serves as a reminder that religion can transcend borders and connect people through shared beliefs. It invites viewers into a world where tradition meets modernity—a glimpse into an ancient culture thriving amidst contemporary challenges. REUTERS continues its legacy of capturing significant moments worldwide with this striking portrayal of religious observance among one of humanity's lesser-known communities—the Samaritans.
