EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Lakruwan Wanniarachchi from Agence France-Presse (AFP), Sri Lankan construction workers are depicted diligently preparing a partially constructed Christmas tree in Colombo on December 12,2016. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of the festive season and highlights the significance of religion in Sri Lanka. Amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life, these dedicated workers take time out to create a symbol that represents joy, hope, and unity. As they meticulously assemble each branch with precision and care, their commitment to spreading holiday cheer is evident. The vibrant colors adorning the tree reflect the diversity and cultural richness of Sri Lanka. This photograph serves as a reminder that Christmas transcends boundaries and brings people together irrespective of their backgrounds or beliefs. It showcases how religion plays an integral role in shaping traditions around the world, even within a predominantly Buddhist country like Sri Lanka. The composition's horizontal frame allows for an immersive experience into this heartwarming scene. Through Wanniarachchi's lens, we witness not only skilled craftsmanship but also devotion towards creating an atmosphere where everyone can embrace the spirit of Christmas. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let us be inspired by these hardworking individuals who strive to spread happiness during this special time of year. May it serve as a testament to our shared humanity and remind us all to celebrate love, compassion, and understanding throughout every season.
