EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mass at the Lourdes Shrine" by Julian Kumar captures a profound moment of spirituality and faith. The image transports us to the heart of Europe, where devout Catholics gather in this sacred place to partake in a Roman Catholic Mass. Set against the backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty, this outdoor ceremony evokes a sense of serenity and tranquility. The Lourdes shrine holds great significance for believers, as it is believed to be the site where the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. This powerful connection with divine intervention draws thousands of pilgrims from all corners of the world each year. In this photograph, we witness an array of emotions on display - devotion, reverence, and deep contemplation. The faithful are seen engaging in prayer and reflection while surrounded by fellow worshippers who share their unwavering commitment to their Christian faith. Kumar's skillful composition allows us to feel as though we are present at this holy gathering ourselves. Through his lens, he captures not only the physical aspects but also manages to convey an intangible spiritual essence that permeates every corner of this sacred space. Whether one identifies as Catholic or not, there is something undeniably moving about witnessing such fervent belief and dedication. This print serves as a reminder that spirituality transcends borders and unites people through shared experiences rooted in faith.
