EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Philippe Lissac from Universal Images Group (UIG), we witness a powerful moment of faith and spirituality. The image showcases a Filipino pilgrim, deeply immersed in her religious rituals, as she drinks the sacred Santa Lucia holy water at the foot of Mount Banahaw. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of Christian pilgrimage, with its rich symbolism and devotion. The woman's expression reflects her profound connection to her beliefs, demonstrating the strength and depth of her faith. As she partakes in this ritual act of ablution, it is evident that she finds solace and spiritual nourishment in these sacred waters. This image not only highlights individual devotion but also represents a larger cultural phenomenon within Catholicism in the Philippines. It serves as a reminder of how religion plays an integral role in people's lives, shaping their identities and providing them with guidance during significant events such as Easter week. Through this photograph, we are invited to contemplate our own relationship with spirituality and reflect on the power that faith holds for individuals across different cultures. It reminds us that despite our diverse backgrounds, there is something universally human about seeking solace through religious practices. Overall, Lissac's print encapsulates both the beauty and significance of religious rituals while honoring the deep-rooted traditions found within Filipino Catholicism.
