EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Scott Heppell, a multitude of pilgrims can be seen embarking on the final leg of their spiritual journey towards a tidal causeway. The image portrays the Northern Cross pilgrimage to Holy Island in Northumbria, Britain, which took place on March 30,2018. As they walk together with unwavering determination and faith, these pilgrims symbolize unity and devotion within Christianity. The low angle view adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing the vastness of both the crowd and their beliefs. Although unrecognizable as individuals due to their disguised costumes and penitent attire, they represent real people from diverse backgrounds who have come together for this religious ceremony. The creative use of cross shapes against an expansive sky evokes a sense of awe and reverence. Against a backdrop of clouds that hint at changing weather conditions, these dedicated individuals demonstrate their commitment to tradition and religion during this significant holiday season - Easter or Semana Santa. This powerful image captures not only the external environment but also conveys an intangible sense of spirituality and resurrection in the air. It serves as a reminder that faith transcends individuality while fostering cultural connections among those who share similar beliefs. With ample copy space surrounding them, these pilgrims invite viewers to reflect upon their own spiritual journeys while appreciating the rich tapestry of religious culture present in our world today.
