EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and spirituality within All Saints Church in Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire. The focal point is the remarkable Easter Sepulchre, a medieval masterpiece that stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of its time. The intricate details carved into this sacred structure are truly awe-inspiring. In particular, our attention is drawn to the exquisitely sculpted figures of Roman soldiers who once guarded Jesus' tomb. Their stoic expressions and finely chiseled armor transport us back to an era long gone but still deeply embedded in our collective consciousness. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but feel a sense of reverence for those who came before us and their unwavering faith. The solemnity that permeates through these ancient walls is palpable, reminding us of the enduring power of religious devotion. All Saints Church itself serves as both a place of worship and a living museum, preserving centuries-old traditions for future generations to appreciate. Its interior holds countless treasures waiting to be discovered by curious souls seeking solace or historical enlightenment. Marjory L Wight's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this sacred space from afar. Through her lens, she invites us on a visual pilgrimage where artistry meets spirituality—a journey that transcends time and connects us with something greater than ourselves.
