The Sisters of l'Ecole Saint-Roch in Paris Accompanied to the Station by 20,000 People - A Powerful Display of Solidarity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in Paris on July 22nd, 1902. In the face of an anti-clerical policy introduced by French Prime Minister Emile Combes, which aimed at separating church and state, the closure of Catholic schools became imminent. However, this did not deter the immense support shown for the nuns from l'Ecole Saint-Roch. As depicted in vivid color lithography by Eugene Damblans, a sea of people flood Avenue de l'Opera to accompany these courageous sisters to their station. The sheer magnitude of approximately 20,000 individuals joining together demonstrates a powerful display of solidarity towards religious orders during times of adversity. In this image filled with emotion and determination, one can observe priests alongside imams and clergyman standing shoulder-to-shoulder with nuns as they embark on their journey into exile. This remarkable scene showcases how different religious communities united under a common cause - defending freedom of religion and preserving their sacred roles within society. The significance lies not only in the visual spectacle but also in its historical context. It serves as a testament to the resilience and unwavering faith that transcends boundaries imposed by politics or policies. This photograph encapsulates an extraordinary moment when thousands came together to protect what they hold dear - their religion and those who dedicate themselves to it.
