EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of pagan worship at Pascual Abaj in Chichicastenango, Guatemala. The image showcases a group of individuals, both male and female, kneeling outside in the midst of an ancient archaeological site. Their vibrant traditional clothing adds a burst of color to the scene, reflecting their indigenous heritage. The photograph offers a glimpse into the contemporary practice of paganism within this Central American civilization. As they bend down before an altar, reminiscent of Buddhist spiritualism found in Burma or Myanmar, these worshippers demonstrate their deep connection to their religious customs and beliefs. Amongst the group is a teenager from Rangoon who has traveled here with her mother and child. This diverse gathering exemplifies how people from different walks of life come together under one common faith. The photographer skillfully captures not only the physical setting but also the essence of spirituality that permeates through every aspect of Guatemalan culture. With its horizontal composition and vivid colors, this image transports viewers to this unique travel destination where tradition meets modernity. Through this photograph by Upperhall Ltd/Robert Harding for WorldInPrint, we are invited to explore the rich tapestry woven by religion and customs in Chichicastenango while appreciating the beauty found within spiritual practices around the world.
