EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Adriano Machado, we witness a powerful moment during Holy Week in Goias Velho, Brazil. The image showcases penitents attending the solemn and awe-inspiring Procession of the Torches. As darkness descends upon the ancient streets of Goias Velho, these devout individuals gather to pay homage to their faith and participate in a sacred tradition that dates back centuries. Holding torches aloft, their faces illuminated by flickering flames, they create an ethereal atmosphere that is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply spiritual. The composition of the photograph draws our attention to the intensity etched on each penitent's face as they walk together in unison. Their somber expressions reflect not only reverence but also a profound sense of devotion and sacrifice. Goias Velho itself serves as an ideal backdrop for this religious procession; its historic architecture adds an air of authenticity and timelessness to the scene. As we gaze at this remarkable image, we are transported into another era where traditions endure and spirituality thrives. Adriano Machado's skillful capture allows us to bear witness to a momentous occasion that holds great significance for those involved. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate our own beliefs while offering us a glimpse into a culture rich with customs passed down through generations. This print stands as a testament to both faith and cultural heritage - reminding us all of the power inherent within rituals that unite communities around shared values.
