EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Vasily Fedosenko, we witness the vibrant celebrations of the Kolyada pagan holiday in the quaint village of Martsiyanauka, Belarus. The image showcases local residents engaging in a centuries-old tradition that has seamlessly merged with Orthodox Christmas festivities. The focal point of the photograph is a campfire, where an intriguing ritual takes place. Local residents are seen putting chunks of pig fat into the flames, creating mesmerizing bursts of fire and smoke. This close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail - from the carefully chopped meat to the crackling flames dancing around it. The composition beautifully captures both the essence and atmosphere surrounding this ancient celebration. The aerial view reveals an expansive outdoor setting filled with wood timber and sticks creatively arranged for this fiery spectacle. As daylight illuminates their surroundings, participants prepare food over open flames while enjoying each other's company. This image not only highlights cultural traditions but also emphasizes our connection with nature and environment through its depiction of fire as a source of warmth during winter's end. With ample copy space surrounding it, viewers can fully immerse themselves in this momentous occasion while contemplating its historical significance. Vasily Fedosenko skillfully encapsulates a timeless scene that transports us back in time while reminding us how these age-old customs continue to thrive in our modern world.
