EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a significant historical moment as Mgr. Macaire, accompanied by 50 priests, presents a letter from Pope Leon XIII to the esteemed King of Ethiopia, Menelik. The illustration captures the essence of this encounter that took place on October 3,1895. Mgr. Macaire stands at the forefront with an air of reverence and respect for both his religious duty and diplomatic mission. Surrounded by his fellow clergy members, he holds in his hands the letter that carries immense significance for both the Catholic Church and Ethiopia. As he presents the letter to King Menelik, one can only imagine the anticipation and curiosity that fills the room. And when these words are uttered by His Majesty - "The Pope is our father all" - it becomes clear that this exchange transcends mere formalities; it signifies a deep bond between two powerful figures representing their respective realms. This image not only showcases a pivotal moment in history but also highlights themes of unity, faith, and cultural exchange. It serves as a testament to how religion can bridge gaps between nations and foster understanding among diverse communities. Preserved through time in this remarkable print from Le Pelerin newspaper, this scene immortalizes an extraordinary chapter where spirituality intertwines with diplomacy – forever etching its mark on Christian history in Africa.
