Blessed Kisses Leaving Orthodox
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment in history as a Russian soldier kisses a cross before heading to the front during World War One. The image is filled with emotion and symbolism, showcasing the deep faith and devotion of the soldier as he prepares for battle.
In 1915, amidst the turmoil of war, this act of kissing the cross serves as a reminder of the soldier's connection to his Orthodox Christian beliefs and his trust in divine protection. It reflects the spiritual strength that sustained many soldiers during times of great adversity.
The historical significance of this photograph cannot be understated, offering a glimpse into the personal experiences and inner struggles faced by those who fought in World War One. It highlights not only the physical challenges of warfare but also the mental and emotional toll it took on individuals.
