EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of blessing in a Bulgarian village in 1887. The Orthodox priest, dressed in traditional robes and holding a cross, stands before a group of livestock on a farm. Surrounded by the rustic surroundings of the farmyard, the animals, including cows, goats, and horses, look up at the priest with curious expressions. The scene is one of reverence and tradition, as the farmer and his family look on with respect and devotion. Blessing animals was, and still is, an important custom in Bulgarian Orthodox culture. The ritual is believed to ensure the health and prosperity of the livestock and the farm as a whole. The blessing ceremony often takes place during the feast of St. Luke the Evangelist, who is the patron saint of animals. The photograph offers a glimpse into the historical and cultural significance of farming practices in Bulgaria during the late 19th century. The image is a testament to the deep connection between the people and their animals, as well as the enduring influence of religious traditions on rural life. The scene is also a reminder of the simple pleasures and hard work that characterized agricultural communities in Europe at the time. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a valuable historical document that captures a moment in time that has been preserved for future generations to appreciate. It offers a window into the past and sheds light on the rich cultural heritage of Bulgaria and its people.
