EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Philippe Lissac, we witness a profound moment of devotion and artistic expression. The image showcases a Catholic nun meticulously painting icons in the serene town of Emmaus-Nicopolis, Israel. With her gentle brushstrokes and unwavering focus, she brings to life the spiritual essence of these religious symbols. The scene radiates an aura of faith and spirituality as the nun immerses herself in her sacred craft. Her dedication is palpable, reflecting not only her commitment to her Christian beliefs but also to preserving the rich traditions of iconography. Through this ancient art form, she communicates messages of divine love and grace to those who will encounter these masterpieces. As we observe this remarkable woman engrossed in her work within the walls of a church, we are reminded that religion transcends borders and unites people from all corners of the world. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of Catholicism in the Middle East—a region steeped in history and diverse spiritual practices. Lissac's lens captures both the physical act of painting icons and its deeper significance—how it connects individuals with their spirituality on a profound level. It invites us into an intimate space where creativity merges with devotion, resulting in breathtaking works that inspire contemplation and reverence. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) encapsulates not just an artistic process but also embodies faith itself—an eternal flame burning brightly amidst changing times.
