EDITORS COMMENTS
Absalom's Pillar and the Road at the Bottom of the Mount of Olives, Jerusalem, Israel (1960s) This evocative photograph captures the majestic beauty and historical significance of Absalom's Pillar, located at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, Israel. The image, taken in the 1960s, shows the ancient pillar standing proudly against the backdrop of a winding road that leads up the mountain. Absalom's Pillar, also known as Absalom's Monument or Absalom's Rock, is a biblical landmark that holds great importance to both Christians and Jews. According to the Old Testament, Absalom, the third son of King David, rebelled against his father and sought refuge on the Mount of Olives. The story goes that Absalom's long hair got caught in the branches of a tree as he fled from his pursuers, and he was killed by Joab, David's commander. The pillar marks the spot where Absalom's body was found. The Mount of Olives has long been a place of pilgrimage and reflection for followers of various religions. The winding road at the foot of the mountain, seen in the photograph, has been a popular route for pilgrims for centuries. The image invites us to imagine the footsteps of those who have come before us, seeking solace and inspiration in the sacred landscape of Jerusalem. The photograph also serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The Mount of Olives, Absalom's Pillar, and the winding road below have stood the test of time, bearing witness to the complex and enduring stories of the people who have lived and continue to live in this remarkable place.
