EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa 1905, we witness a breathtaking scene of the religious procession of Nossa Senhora da Luz (Our Lady of Light) winding its way through the picturesque coastal town of Praia de Luz, near Lagos, in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. The image captures the rich cultural traditions and customs that have been passed down through generations in this beautiful country. The procession, which is still held annually to this day, is a public display of deep-rooted faith and community spirit. The people, dressed in their finest attire, walk along the winding streets and roads, carrying candles and flowers as offerings to the beloved Virgin Mary. The procession makes its way up the hill, with the stunning backdrop of the rolling hills and the clear blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean providing a serene and awe-inspiring setting. The photograph offers a wide-angle view of the scene, allowing us to appreciate the scale and grandeur of the event. The road is filled with people, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere. The image also highlights the importance of public space in Portuguese culture, as the procession takes place in the heart of the community, bringing people together in celebration of their shared beliefs. This photograph is a beautiful testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of faith in the lives of the people of Praia de Luz and the Algarve region. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that can be found in Portugal and its coastal towns.
