EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Baz Ratner, we witness a mesmerizing moment during the Holy Fire ceremony in Jerusalem's Old City. Ethiopian Orthodox worshippers are seen holding candles, their faces illuminated with faith and devotion. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and reverence as they gather at the Ethiopian section of the historic Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The flickering flames from each candle symbolize hope and spiritual enlightenment for these devoted followers. As they hold their candles high, it seems as if their prayers are being carried up to the heavens above. The vibrant colors of their traditional attire contrast beautifully against the ancient stone walls surrounding them, adding an extra layer of visual richness to this scene. This photograph encapsulates not only a religious ritual but also serves as a reminder of unity among different cultures within Jerusalem's diverse community. It showcases how people from all corners of the world come together in this sacred place to celebrate their shared beliefs and find solace in spirituality. Baz Ratner has masterfully captured both the solemnity and beauty inherent in this momentous occasion through his lens. His skillful composition allows us to feel like participants rather than mere observers, immersing us in an experience that transcends time and space.
