This image captures an outdoor religious ceremony in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The scene is set on an unpaved reddish-brown dirt area adjacent to a light-colored building with patterned stonework near the roofline and a teal roof. White canopy tents provide overhead cover for the event. Under the tents on the left, numerous individuals, predominantly clergy in white albs with purple stoles, are seated on white plastic chairs. One individual in a brown jacket stands among the seated. A black speaker on a stand is visible. A large blue and white banner hanging on the background building displays an image of a man in religious vestments, with text including "Card. Fridolin Ambongo Besungu" and "15 ANS." On the right, a raised white stage, partially covered with artificial green turf, is adorned with potted palm plants. This stage features a purple-draped lectern with floral arrangements and a brass candlestick holding a white candle. A camera on a tripod is positioned in the midground, suggesting media coverage. The sky appears overcast.
