EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos III, is seen performing the sacred Washing of the Feet ceremony outside the historic Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem's Old City. The image captures a moment of deep spirituality and devotion as worshippers gather to witness this traditional festival. The close-up shot highlights the intricate details of the silver bowl used for washing, emphasizing its significance in this religious ritual. The unrecognizable hands and feet symbolize unity among believers from various walks of life who come together to partake in this act of faith. From an overhead view, we see multiple people dressed in traditional clothes engaging in this holy practice. Water cascades gently over their feet as they participate in a centuries-old tradition that signifies humility and service. This photograph showcases not only a religious ceremony but also serves as a creative use of imagery to convey worship and reverence. It reminds us that despite our differences, faith can bring people together under one roof with shared beliefs and values. Ammar Awad's powerful composition beautifully captures both the solemnity and beauty inherent within such rituals while providing viewers with an opportunity to reflect on their own spiritual journey.
