EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1915, we are transported to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem during an Easter gathering. The image showcases two men engrossed in a lively egg-breaking game, surrounded by a jubilant crowd. As they delicately clash their painted eggs together, hoping for theirs to remain unbroken, the excitement is palpable. The scene captures the essence of celebration and joy that permeates throughout this sacred Christian event. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as families gather to commemorate Easter, a time of renewal and rebirth. The architectural beauty of the church's exterior serves as a stunning backdrop to this momentous occasion. Amidst the sea of people captured in sepia tones, one cannot help but notice the traditional attire worn by some individuals - from fez hats to shawls - representing diverse cultures coming together under one roof for this significant religious observance. This photograph not only offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century Palestine but also reminds us of the enduring power of faith and community. It encapsulates both historical significance and timeless traditions that continue to be cherished today at one of Christianity's most revered sites: Jerusalem's Holy Sepulcher.
