EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Santiago Ferrero, a penitent stands in anticipation, waiting for the start of a solemn procession in Tenerife, one of Spain's Canary Islands. The image showcases the deep-rooted religious traditions that come alive during Holy Week in Spain. Dressed in traditional attire and wearing an unrecognizable face mask, the penitent is part of the Rosario y el Cristo Resucitado brotherhood. With torch in hand and gloves on, their body language exudes devotion and reverence as they prepare to embark on this sacred journey. The atmosphere surrounding them is filled with faith and spirituality. A crowd gathers along the street, eagerly awaiting the commencement of this significant event. The road ahead stretches into infinity, symbolizing both physical and spiritual paths that lie ahead for these worshippers. The composition of the photograph is visually striking; creative use of depth-of-field draws attention to specific elements such as the cone-shaped hat worn by some participants. This detail adds to the authenticity and cultural richness depicted within this scene. As Easter processions take place around-the-clock throughout Spain during Holy Week, thousands flock to witness these powerful displays of worship. Through Ferrero's lens, we are granted a glimpse into this profound religious experience - a moment frozen in time where tradition meets modernity amidst an ever-changing world.
