EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of the Byzantine Museum in Athens, Greece, taken in the early 21st century by renowned photographer Ethel Davies. The museum, a treasure trove of Byzantine art and artifacts, is home to an extensive collection of icons, religious relics, and other ancient objects that tell the story of the Byzantine Empire and the spread of Christianity in Europe. At the heart of this image is a stunning 12th-century AD icon of St. George, the legendary dragon-slayer and patron saint of soldiers and farmers. The icon, framed against the soft, muted colors of the museum's walls, is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and devotional art of the Byzantine period. St. George, depicted in armor and holding a shield, is shown triumphantly slaying the dragon, a symbol of evil and chaos. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the museum's serene and contemplative atmosphere, where visitors can connect with the past and appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Greece and the Byzantine Empire. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring power of art and religion to inspire and uplift us, even in the midst of the complexities and challenges of the modern world.
