EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Philippe Lissac, we are transported to a solemn All Souls Day celebration in a picturesque graveyard in Provence. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of this main Christian event, where spirituality and faith intertwine. The scene is set with an adult priest standing at the forefront, his presence exuding reverence and devotion. Dressed in traditional Catholic attire, he holds a lit candle that symbolizes hope and remembrance for the departed souls. As we gaze into his eyes, we can sense the depth of emotion and sincerity he brings to this sacred occasion. Surrounded by tombstones adorned with flowers and flickering candles, the atmosphere is both serene and poignant. The soft glow from each flame illuminates the faces of those gathered around – men and women who have come to pay their respects to loved ones who have passed on. This powerful visual narrative not only showcases religious customs but also invites us to reflect on our own mortality. It reminds us of the universal human experience shared across cultures – grief, loss, and ultimately finding solace through spiritual beliefs. Lissac's skillful composition transports us directly into this momentous event within Roman Catholicism. Through his lens, we witness a profound connection between people seeking solace amidst nature's beauty while honoring their dearly departed ancestors.
