EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Erik de Castro, we witness the fervent devotion of countless worshipers as they jostle and struggle to reach an image of the Black Nazarene during the annual religious procession in Manila, Philippines. The scene is a testament to the deep faith and spiritual connection that these individuals share with their religious beliefs. The image captures a moment of chaos and intensity, as devotees push through the crowd in their quest to get closer to the revered symbol. Their determination is palpable, as they navigate through an exterior environment filled with fellow believers who are equally committed to their prayers. De Castro's creative use of aerial view allows us to fully appreciate the magnitude of this religious ceremony. From above, we see multiple silhouettes against a backdrop of open air and nature. It serves as a reminder that despite being part of such a large crowd, each individual has their own personal journey within this shared celebration. This photograph not only showcases an important cultural tradition but also highlights how religion can bring people together from all walks of life. It reminds us that amidst our differences, there are moments when we unite under one common purpose – seeking solace or finding strength in our spirituality.
