EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the unique and spirited nature of a Shaker Sunday service in the Watervlit community, located near Albany in New York, in the year 1873. The Shakers, also known as United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, were a Christian sect renowned for their ecstatic religious practices and communal living. In this image, we see a group of Shaker men and women gathered together in a simple, rustic meeting hall. Their faces are focused and intense as they engage in a communal dance, a central aspect of their worship. The Shakers believed that dancing was a way to connect with the divine and experience the presence of God. The women wear traditional Shaker garb, consisting of long, white frocks and bonnets, while the men wear dark suits and hats. Their expressions are serious, yet filled with joy and devotion. The bare wooden floor and simple furnishings of the meeting hall add to the sense of spiritual simplicity and purity. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of a Shaker community, providing a window into a unique and intriguing chapter of American religious history. The Shakers, who were known for their innovative inventions and crafts, eventually declined in numbers and the last active Shaker community in the United States closed in 1992. Today, their legacy lives on through their architecture, art, and the enduring fascination with their unconventional beliefs and practices.
