EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Easter in Russia" takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of this religious festival in all its glory. The engraving, created by Johann Nepomuk Schonberg and published in The Illustrated London News on April 8,1882, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Easter celebrations in Russia. The image transports us to the streets of Russia during Easter Saturday. A priest stands at the center, clad in his traditional attire, blessing the crowd that gathers around him. Steps leading up to a grand cathedral create an impressive backdrop for this sacred moment. As midnight approaches and Easter Sunday dawns upon them, people eagerly await the priest's benediction. Street scenes come alive with vibrant colors as locals present food and ladys drawings while selling fast sprigs of willow branches symbolizing sanctification and blessedness. In this diverse religious landscape where Christianity meets Asian influences, we witness unity among different faiths as an imam joins hands with priests from various religious orders. This engraving beautifully captures not only the religious fervor but also highlights how religion plays a significant role in Russian society. It serves as a testament to the power of faith and its ability to bring people together across cultures and backgrounds. Bridgeman Images has once again brought history alive through their collection of fine art prints like "Easter in Russia" reminding us of our shared humanity amidst diverse spiritual practices found throughout our world's vast landscapes.
