EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable reliquary containing the sacred relics of Saint Euphrosyne, an influential figure in religious history. Created by the French School in the 18th century, this mixed media artwork is currently housed at the Bibliotheque du Saulchoir in Paris, France. Saint Euphrosyne's story unfolds as she was born in Polotsk, Belarus and embarked on a profound pilgrimage to Constantinople and Jerusalem before her untimely death. She found her eternal resting place in Kiev and became revered as the patron saint of Belarus, writers, schools, and ecumenism - promoting unity among different Christian denominations. The intricate design of this reliquary reflects its significance. At its center lies the host of the Eucharist symbolizing Christ's presence within it. This representation emphasizes Saint Euphrosyne's commitment to fostering harmony and unification among believers. With her feast day celebrated on June 5th according to Orthodox tradition (or May 23rd according to Western calendars), Saint Euphrosyne continues to inspire individuals worldwide with her harmonizing spirit. Her legacy transcends borders and cultures, making her an icon for both Russian and Ukrainian communities alike. This awe-inspiring image not only captures the beauty of this relic but also serves as a reminder of Saint Euphrosyne's enduring influence as an advocate for peace and understanding within diverse religious traditions.
