EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a profound moment of devotion and faith as a statue of the Holy Virgin Mary is carried during a candlelight vigil at Fatima's holy shrine in central Portugal. The year is 2007, and more than 250,000 pilgrims have gathered to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the first apparition of the Virgin Mary to three shepherd children in 1917. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and awe as believers come together to honor their spiritual connection with the divine. The flickering candle flames illuminate their faces, reflecting both hope and gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon them. Each step taken by those carrying the statue symbolizes an unwavering commitment to their beliefs. This sacred occasion also marks another significant event—the inauguration of the new Church of Santssima Trindade. As pilgrims converge from far and wide, they bring with them prayers whispered in countless languages, united by their shared devotion. Photographer Nacho Doce has masterfully captured this powerful scene, allowing us to glimpse into a world where spirituality transcends borders and language barriers. It serves as a reminder that despite our diverse backgrounds, we are all capable of finding solace and strength through faith. This image stands as a testament not only to religious fervor but also to humanity's eternal quest for meaning beyond ourselves—a timeless portrayal that resonates deeply within our souls.
