EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken circa 1910, a large crowd gathers in the bustling streets of Cairo, Egypt, as they prepare for the Holy Carpet Procession. The Holy Carpet, a significant relic in Islamic history, is being carried from Cairo to Mecca for blessing at the Kaaba, the holiest site in Islam. The Kaaba, an ancient cube-shaped building at the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, is the most revered site in Islam and the focus of the Islamic pilgrimage, known as the Hajj. The Holy Carpet, a beautiful and intricately woven piece of textile, is used to cover the Kaaba during the Hajj season. The procession of the Holy Carpet is a momentous occasion, filled with religious fervor and historical significance. The carpet is carefully carried on the shoulders of hundreds of men, making its way through the streets of Cairo and then on to Mecca. The journey is a long and arduous one, taking several days, but the faithful are filled with a deep sense of devotion and pride as they participate in this ancient tradition. Once the carpet reaches Mecca, it is placed over the Kaaba and blessed by the Islamic leaders. After the blessing, the carpet is carried back to Cairo, where it is once again used to cover the Kaaba during the Hajj season. This cycle of carrying the Holy Carpet between Cairo and Mecca has been repeated for centuries, connecting the Islamic world with its rich history and religious traditions. This photograph captures the essence of the Holy Carpet Procession, with the crowd of people, the ornate decorations, and the sense of anticipation and excitement in the air. It is a testament to the enduring power of faith and tradition, and a reminder of the deep connections that bind the Islamic world together.
