EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a tragic moment in history when Orthodox Christians were persecuted for their faith. In 1932, after their church was closed, a group of believers gathered in a humble barn to hold a service. Little did they know that someone would lock the doors and set fire to the building, trapping the priest and six others inside.
The image is both heartbreaking and powerful, as it serves as a reminder of the lengths that some will go to suppress religious freedom. The faces of those who perished in this senseless act of violence are etched with fear and determination, their devotion to their faith evident even in the face of death.
This photograph is not just a historical artifact; it is a testament to the resilience and courage of those who have faced persecution for what they believe. It stands as a stark warning against intolerance and hatred towards any religion or belief system.
As we look upon this image, let us remember the sacrifices made by these brave individuals and strive to create a world where all people can worship freely without fear of persecution. May their memory be honored and may we never forget the lessons learned from this dark chapter in history.
