EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the determination and dedication of Juan de los Barrios, a Spanish missionary, as he personally sets about the rebuilding of the Cathedral of Bogota, Colombia in 1553. The original cathedral, built in 1545, had been destroyed by a devastating earthquake, leaving the community without a place of worship. De los Barrios, a Franciscan friar, was not only a man of deep faith but also an accomplished architect and engineer. He saw it as his mission to not only rebuild the cathedral but to create a structure that would stand the test of time and serve as a symbol of the enduring spirit of the people of Bogota. The photo print, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the influence of the Catholic Church was at its height in the Americas. The image captures the essence of the missionary spirit, with de los Barrios leading the way in the reconstruction effort, surrounded by a group of dedicated workers. The ruins of the old cathedral can be seen in the background, serving as a stark reminder of the destruction that had occurred. But with de los Barrios at the helm, there is a sense of hope and optimism, as the community comes together to rebuild their place of worship. This historical photograph is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of faith to bring people together in times of adversity. It is a reminder of the rich history of Colombia and the important role that the Catholic Church played in shaping its cultural and spiritual landscape.
