Brama Capital Carmelites Dawn Discalced Lithuania Theresa Vilnius Ostra Wilno
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a breathtaking view of Vilnius, the enchanting capital city of Lithuania, circa 1910s. The scene unfolds before us as the sun begins to set, casting a warm glow over the historic cityscape. At the heart of this tableau stands the Church of St. Theresa, a stunning Baroque edifice built between 1503 and 1522. The church, with its distinctive bell tower, is home to the Discalced Carmelites, a branch of the Carmelite Order known for their commitment to austerity and contemplative prayer. In the background, the Gate of Dawn (Ausros Vartai or Ostra Brama) looms majestically. This impressive structure, also built between 1503 and 1522, was originally a part of the defensive fortifications for the city. The gate is adorned with a beautiful painting of the Virgin Mary, a cherished symbol of protection for the people of Vilnius. The cobblestone streets, lined with quaint houses and charming architecture, add to the timeless allure of this enchanting city. The image invites us to step back in time and explore the rich history and culture of Vilnius, a place where the past and present seamlessly blend together.
