EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of Franciscan friars from Mount St. Sepulchre Monastery in Brookland, Washington D.C., gather at the Lourdes Grotto in the monastery grounds. Dating back to circa 1910, this image captures a moment of quiet reflection and devotion among these religious men. The Franciscan friars, dressed in their traditional cassocks, stand solemnly before the replica of the Lourdes Grotto, a site of significant pilgrimage in France. The grotto, a reconstruction of the original in Europe, was built as a place of prayer and reflection for the monastic community and the many pilgrims who visited Mount St. Sepulchre. Mount St. Sepulchre Monastery, founded in 1895, was the first Roman Catholic monastery in the District of Columbia. The monastery was established by the Franciscan Friars of the Holy Land, who sought to bring the spirituality of the Holy Land to America. The monastery's name, Mount St. Sepulchre, was inspired by the site of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, a place of great significance in Christian tradition. The Lourdes Grotto, a replica of the famous site in France where the Virgin Mary appeared to a young girl in 1858, was a popular destination for pilgrims seeking healing and spiritual renewal. The grotto, with its tranquil setting and soothing waters, offered a place of respite and reflection for the monks and visitors alike. This photograph, with its depiction of the Franciscan friars in prayerful contemplation at the Lourdes Grotto, offers a glimpse into the spiritual life of the Mount St. Sepulchre Monastery community in the early 20th century. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of spiritual pilgrimage in the lives of these religious men.
