EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jonathan Nackstrand from Agence France-Presse (AFP), the enchanting spirit of Christmas in Sweden comes to life. The image transports us to Stockholm on a chilly Advent Sunday, November 27,2016, where anticipation fills the air as people gather around Stockholms biggest Christmas tree. As darkness descends upon the city, all eyes are fixed on the majestic evergreen adorned with twinkling lights. In a moment of pure magic, the switch is flipped and an ethereal glow illuminates every corner of the square. Faces light up with joy and wonderment as they witness this timeless tradition unfold before their eyes. The scene exudes warmth and unity as families huddle close together, embracing both loved ones and strangers alike. It is a reminder that despite our differences, we can come together to celebrate shared traditions that bring us closer during this festive season. Nestled within this vertical frame lies not just a photograph but also a glimpse into Swedish culture and its deep-rooted connection to Christmas customs. This snapshot encapsulates the essence of community coming alive through age-old rituals passed down through generations. Jonathan Nackstrand's lens captures more than just an event; it immortalizes emotions felt by those present at that very moment. It serves as a beautiful testament to how traditions have the power to unite us all in celebration and create lasting memories for years to come.
