EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the early 1900s, capturing a moment in time at The Catholic mission in Keren, Eritrea. The image showcases an exquisite flowerbed adorning the urban exterior of this religious establishment. Its vibrant colors bring life to the otherwise solemn surroundings. The mission's architecture is grand and imposing, with its structure dominating the square or piazza where it stands. It exudes a sense of strength and resilience against the backdrop of palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. These towering plants provide shade and tranquility to those seeking solace within this sacred space. Intriguingly, amidst this serene setting, we see a group portrait featuring individuals dressed in traditional religious attire. A nun wearing her distinctive tunic stands proudly among clergy members who are undoubtedly devoted to their Christian faith. Their clothing reflects both modesty and reverence for their calling. One particular figure catches our attention - a young child whose innocent face peeks out from behind these devout adults. This poignant inclusion reminds us that faith is passed down through generations, nurtured by those who dedicate themselves to serving God. As we admire this remarkable print captured by an unidentified author from Alinari, we are reminded of the enduring power of religion and its ability to shape communities across time and place. It serves as a testament not only to the beauty found within places of worship but also to the profound impact they have on people's lives.
