Earth Feast Flagellants Flagellation Frolic Glory Greater Live Moment Penance Recognise Seriousness 15th Flagellate
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures the contrasting attitudes towards life in the 15th century. Titled "Feast or Flagellation," it depicts two groups of people - one indulging in feasting and frolicking, while the other engages in self-flagellation for the greater glory of God.
In this image, we see a vivid portrayal of how individuals during that time period either lived for the moment or recognized the seriousness of their existence on Earth. The flagellants, with expressions of penance and devotion, demonstrate their commitment to religious practices and spiritual growth. On the other hand, those partaking in feasting appear carefree and joyous as they revel in earthly pleasures.
The contrast between these two groups serves as a reminder of the diverse ways people have approached life throughout history. While some choose to embrace fleeting moments of happiness and enjoyment, others prioritize introspection and sacrifice for a higher purpose.
"Feast or Flagellation" is not just a snapshot from centuries past; it is a reflection on human nature and our eternal quest for meaning and fulfillment. It invites us to consider how we navigate our own lives - do we live solely for pleasure, or do we recognize something greater at play?
