EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the humble abode of House of Simon the Tanner in Jaffa, Israel, a place deeply rooted in biblical history. Dating back to 1903, this image was taken during the Ottoman era, offering a glimpse into the past of this ancient city. The House of Simon the Tanner, also known as the House of Simon the Apostle, holds significant religious importance as it is believed that Saint Peter, one of the twelve apostles, once stayed here. The simple and traditional structure, with its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof, stands as a testament to the past, inviting visitors to imagine the footsteps of the saint that once walked its halls. The house, which was once a tanner's residence, is a simple yet profound reminder of the rich history that Jaffa holds. The tanning process, which involved soaking hides in water, would have taken place in the courtyard, giving the house its name. The peaceful and serene atmosphere of the image, with the house nestled among the rolling hills and the clear blue sky overhead, adds to the sense of tranquility and spiritual reflection. This photograph is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and the stories that lie within the walls of this ancient house. It serves as a reminder of the deep religious and cultural significance of Jaffa and the impact it has had on the world.
