EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the profound moment of the Feet Washing ceremony on Good Friday in the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem during the late 1890s. The Greek Orthodox believers, dressed in traditional garments, crowd into the ancient church to participate in this significant religious custom. Good Friday marks the commemoration of the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ, and the Feet Washing ceremony symbolizes the act of humility and servitude that Jesus demonstrated by washing the feet of his disciples before his arrest. This tradition holds great historical and spiritual significance for Greek Orthodox Christians, who travel from all corners of the world to experience this moving ritual in the place where it all began. The Holy Sepulchre, a site of immense historical importance, is the traditional location of the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. The church, which has undergone numerous renovations and restorations over the centuries, is a testament to the rich history and enduring faith of the Christian community. In this photograph, we see the believers gathered around the stone basin, their feet submerged in water as they await their turn to be washed by the priest. The atmosphere is one of reverence and devotion, as the faithful come together to honor the past and strengthen their connection to their faith. The image captures the essence of this powerful and moving tradition, offering a glimpse into the deep spiritual practices of the Greek Orthodox community in Jerusalem during the late 1890s.
