A woman prays during Christmas Mass at the Catholic church in Gaojiabao village near the city of Taiyuan, Shanxi province, December 24, 2007. There are some 10 million Catholics in China, divided between an " underground" church loyal to the Holy See and the state-approved church that respects the Pope as a spiritual figurehead but rejects effective papal control.

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Reuters photographer Reinhard Krause, we witness a powerful moment of devotion and faith. The image showcases a woman deep in prayer during Christmas Mass at the Catholic church in Gaojiabao village near the city of Taiyuan, Shanxi province. Taken on December 24,2007, this photograph offers a glimpse into the religious landscape of China. With approximately 10 million Catholics residing within its borders, China is home to two distinct branches of the faith. On one hand, there is an "underground" church that remains loyal to the Holy See and operates outside state approval or recognition. On the other hand, there exists a state-approved church that acknowledges the Pope as a spiritual figurehead but rejects his direct control. The woman's serene expression and closed eyes convey her deep connection with her spirituality as she seeks solace and guidance through prayer. Her presence amidst fellow worshippers highlights their shared commitment to their beliefs despite differing affiliations within Chinese Catholicism. Reinhard Krause's skillful composition captures both the individual's intimate moment of communion with God and also provides us with broader insight into China's complex religious dynamics. This poignant image serves as a reminder that faith can transcend political boundaries while offering viewers an opportunity for reflection on personal spirituality in today's diverse world.
