EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a powerful moment of respite and devotion within the sacred walls of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Amidst a Good Friday procession along Jerusalem's historic Via Dolorosa, an unrecognizable worshipper finds solace in rest. Bathed in ethereal light streaming through stained glass windows, their silhouette stands as a testament to unwavering faith. The image beautifully captures the essence of Christianity and its profound beliefs surrounding resurrection and redemption. With creative use of space, the composition draws our attention to both the individual at rest and the symbolic Christian cross adorning the wall behind them. The atmosphere is charged with spirituality as real people engage in religious ceremonies nearby. This photograph not only documents a momentous occasion but also serves as a window into cultural traditions that have endured for centuries. As Easter approaches, it reminds us of Semana Santa - Holy Week - when devout Christians commemorate Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. The architectural details add depth to this visual narrative; ancient stone stairs leading upwards symbolize ascension towards salvation while providing copy space for contemplation. The air seems thick with reverence as worshippers navigate their way through this hallowed environment. Corinna Kern's masterful lens has captured more than just an image – she has encapsulated an entire spiritual journey within one frame. It invites viewers from all walks of life to ponder on matters of faith, tradition, and humanity itself.
