EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Holy Week in Brazil as young penitents participate in the solemn Procession of the Torches. Taken on April 20,2011, in Goias Velho, west of Brasilia, this image showcases a deeply religious tradition that draws thousands of visitors from all corners of the country. The atmosphere is charged with devotion and spirituality as these young individuals walk through the streets carrying torches, symbolizing their commitment to faith. The composition beautifully portrays the contrast between darkness and light, highlighting both the somberness and hope inherent in Holy Week observances. The flickering flames illuminate their faces and white robes against a backdrop of ancient architecture, creating an ethereal ambiance that evokes reverence. As one among hundreds of Easter processions taking place during this sacred week, this particular event holds immense significance for those involved. It serves as a powerful reminder of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection while fostering unity within communities across Brazil. Photographer Ueslei Marcelino masterfully captures this poignant moment where religion intertwines with society. This image not only documents an important cultural practice but also invites viewers to reflect on their own beliefs and traditions. Through his lens, Marcelino provides us with a glimpse into an awe-inspiring display of faith that continues to captivate hearts year after year.
