In this photo taken by Dado Ruvic, we are transported to the enchanting city of Zenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the eve of Orthodox Christmas. The image captures a mesmerizing scene as people gather outside the Church of the Holy Mother of God to witness burning Yule logs. The low angle view adds a sense of grandeur to the moment, emphasizing the towering church against the night sky. Flames dance gracefully, casting an ethereal glow upon both unrecognizable figures and their elongated shadows. The juxtaposition between light and darkness creates a striking visual contrast.
