In this print captured by Philippe Lissac from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported to the heart of a Christmas celebration in Calcutta cathedral. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of spirituality, faith, and joy that permeate the air during this festive season. The grandeur of the cathedral's architecture serves as a magnificent backdrop for the ceremony, exuding an aura of reverence and devotion. As flickering church candles illuminate the space, their warm glow casts a mesmerizing ambiance on the faces of devout worshippers gathered for mass. Amidst a sea of people, we witness individuals from all walks of life coming together to celebrate their shared Christian beliefs. Their expressions reflect both solemnity and elation as they partake in rituals that hold deep religious significance. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes unity and hope. It reminds us that regardless of our differences or geographical location, faith has an incredible power to bring people together. As we delve into this image, it becomes evident that religion transcends borders and cultures. It is through such celebrations that traditions are preserved and cherished by generations past, present, and future. Lissac's skillful lens allows us to witness firsthand how Christmas is celebrated with fervor in Calcutta Cathedral—a testament to India's rich cultural tapestry where Christianity finds its place alongside other religions practiced across Asia.
