Shadow of a penitent carrying a wooden cross on a baton falls on ground as men dressed
The shadow of a penitent carrying a wooden cross on a baton falls on the ground as men dressed in traditional Roman costumes carry a statue of Jesus Nazareno de los Milagros (Jesus of Nazareth of the Miracles), during a religious procession in the streets of downtown Guatemala City, April 13, 2014. The religious image of Jesus Nazareno de los Milagros is taken out and carried around the streets once a year and is one of the biggest religious processions in the city during the Holy Week.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, the solemnity of a religious procession in Guatemala City is beautifully captured. The image showcases the shadow of a penitent, burdened by the weight of a wooden cross on a baton, as it falls gracefully onto the ground. Meanwhile, men dressed in traditional Roman costumes carry an awe-inspiring statue of Jesus Nazareno de los Milagros (Jesus of Nazareth of the Miracles) through the streets. This annual event takes place during Holy Week and holds immense significance for devout Guatemalans. The religious image is paraded around downtown Guatemala City once a year and stands as one of the largest processions in the city. The photograph not only captures this momentous occasion but also highlights the juxtaposition between human struggle and divine devotion. The fallen shadow symbolizes both physical exhaustion and spiritual surrender, while those dressed in Roman attire embody tradition and reverence. The atmosphere surrounding this scene must be filled with hushed prayers, contemplation, and deep-rooted faith. It serves as a reminder that religion can unite communities and provide solace even amidst challenging times. Jorge Lopez's skillful photography allows us to witness this profound display of devotion from afar, inviting us to reflect on our own beliefs and appreciate diverse cultural expressions of faith.
