EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic Kilchoman Cross, an ancient relic of the Isle of Islay in the Hebrides, Scotland. Dating back to the 15th or 16th century, this intricately carved stone cross once stood as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region, where both Christianity and Pagan beliefs coexisted. For many years, it was a focal point for prayer and ritual, with the faithful turning it towards the sun to align with the solstices and equinoxes, reflecting the deep connection between the people and the natural world. The cross, adorned with intricate Celtic knots and symbols, is believed to have been turned away from the sun during the 1930s, marking the end of this ancient practice. Despite the cessation of this Pagan ritual, the cross remains a powerful symbol of the island's rich history and the enduring influence of its ancient beliefs. Surrounded by rolling hills, stone buildings, and the rugged coastline, the Kilchoman Cross stands as a testament to the island's unique character and the deep connection between its people and the land. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a place of mystery and wonder.
