The year 2020 has brought unexpected changes in the lives of Christians. Although it was marked by suffering, uncertainty, physical distancing, it reminded us that “life is a gift from God and we must know how to live it in the worthiest way possible” (Valeriu Gafencu).
Emotion, pain, but also hope were mostly reflected in the photos from the Orthodox world.
We present to you 100 images made by the photojournalists of the Basilica News Agency during the 12 months that will go down in history.
