EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the compassionate and selfless nature of Louis IX of France, also known as Saint Louis. In the midst of the Crusades, where violence and chaos reigned, Louis chose to bury victims of the plague at Sayette with his own hands. This act of kindness and humanity amidst such devastation speaks volumes about his character.
Louis IX was a devout Christian monarch who went on two Crusades in 1248 and 1270, ultimately meeting his end due to plague or dysentery at Tunis. Despite facing such hardships himself, he never wavered in his commitment to helping those in need.
The lithograph print from the 19th century beautifully captures this moment in history, showcasing Louis IX's dedication to serving others even in the face of death. The colors bring life to the scene, emphasizing both the tragedy of the situation and Louis' unwavering resolve to provide comfort and solace to those suffering.
Saint Louis remains a symbol of compassion and righteousness even centuries after his passing. His legacy lives on through acts like these that remind us all of the importance of empathy and caring for our fellow human beings.
