Distro - Christianity by Abbas.1983-1997 

A. Abbas 

A five year project, shot in 16 countries, on the christian worlds at the dawn of a new millenium.

In this selection of images we see christianity linked to paganism, to buddhism, to islam.

Gestures and rituals differ, though all convey the strength of faith in this exceptional journey initiated by Abbas' previous large project on Islam.
