EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Juan Medina, we are transported to the enchanting streets of Zamora, Spain during Holy Week. The image showcases a group of devout Penitents from the Jesus Yacente brotherhood as they participate in a solemn procession. Dressed in traditional Christian clothing and donning hoods that obscure their faces, these worshippers create an air of mystery and intrigue. The composition is beautifully framed from above, allowing us to witness the scene unfold against a backdrop of darkness illuminated only by candlelight. Each penitent carries a lit candle, casting flickering shadows on their bodies and creating an ethereal atmosphere. Their cone-shaped hoods add an oddly striking element to the photograph, further enhancing its visual impact. As we observe this religious spectacle taking place amidst nature's elements, it becomes evident that faith knows no boundaries or limitations. The weathered buildings and cobblestone streets serve as witnesses to centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. This powerful image captures not only the devotion and worship but also invites contemplation about one's own spiritual journey. It serves as a reminder that religion can be both deeply personal yet shared collectively within communities such as this brotherhood. Through his creative use of light and shadow, Medina has managed to freeze a fleeting moment in time - one filled with reverence and piety - inviting viewers into this sacred experience during Semana Santa (Holy Week).
