EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Front of the Arca Santa, a sacred chest made of cedar wood and silver. Housed in the Camara Santa within the Catedral de San Salvador in Oviedo, Asturias, Spain, this ancient relic holds great significance. The Sudarium Christi, believed to be the napkin mentioned in the Gospel of John from Christ's tomb, is carefully preserved inside since 1113. The intricate design on this front panel is a testament to Byzantine craftsmanship from the 11th century. Adorned with delicate reliefs depicting twelve apostles and featuring arches and niches that exude an aura of divinity. At its center lies a mandorla surrounding Jesus Christ himself. Paul Maeyaert's expert photography captures every detail with precision and clarity. The image invites viewers to appreciate not only the artistry but also reflect upon its historical and religious importance. As we gaze at this print, we are transported back in time to witness an object that has endured centuries as a symbol of faith and devotion. It serves as a reminder of our connection to ancient traditions and beliefs while inspiring awe for those who encounter it today.
