EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by REUTERS photographer Pepe Marin, penitents are seen participating in a solemn procession organized by the "Via Crucis" brotherhood during Holy Week in Granada, southern Spain. The image was taken on April 19,2011. The photograph showcases the profound religious devotion and cultural significance of Holy Week celebrations in Spain. As hundreds of processions like this one take place around the clock throughout the country during this sacred period, they attract thousands of visitors who come to witness and partake in these awe-inspiring events. Dressed in traditional hooded robes that conceal their identities, the penitents march slowly through the streets with candles or crosses as symbols of their faith. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and solemnity as they reenact Jesus Christ's journey to his crucifixion. The composition of the photo highlights both the individual penitents and their collective unity as they walk together along a narrow street illuminated by warm golden light. Their somber expressions reflect deep introspection and spiritual contemplation. This powerful image provides a glimpse into an ancient tradition deeply rooted in Spanish culture and religion. It serves as a reminder of how communities come together to honor their beliefs during Holy Week while drawing attention to moments that evoke strong emotions within individuals observing these rituals from afar.
