EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Rostov Velikiy, a town nestled in the Yaroslavl region of Russia. As tourists stroll along the cobblestone streets, they are greeted by a mesmerizing sight - several Orthodox churches standing proudly in the historical center. The architectural splendor and religious significance of these structures make them an integral part of Rostov Velikiy's identity. Known as "The Great". Rostov Velikiy holds a special place within Russia's Golden Ring, a collection of cities outside Moscow that played a crucial role in shaping the Russian Orthodox Church. These towns boast remarkable examples of Russian architecture from the 12th to 18th centuries, including kremlins, monasteries, cathedrals, and churches. In this image captured by Kirill Kudryavtsev for Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness not only the grandeur of these sacred buildings but also their harmonious coexistence with modern-day tourism. The juxtaposition between ancient traditions and contemporary exploration is strikingly evident as visitors immerse themselves in both history and spirituality. As sunlight dances upon ornate domes and intricate facades, one cannot help but be transported back in time to an era where faith was intertwined with everyday life. This photograph serves as a testament to Russia's rich cultural heritage while inviting us all to embark on our own spiritual journey through its magnificent landmarks.
