EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Choir of the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Apostle and Evangelist in Lima, Peru, during the 1920s. The image transports us back in time to the vibrant and culturally rich city of Lima, then the capital of the South American republic. The choir members, dressed in their traditional robes, are seen standing in two rows, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of the cathedral's interior. The intricately designed vaulted ceiling and ornate columns of the basilica create a breathtaking backdrop, emphasizing the grandeur and spiritual significance of the space. The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Apostle and Evangelist, also known as the Lima Cathedral, is a prominent landmark in the historic center of Lima. Constructed between 1535 and 1622, the basilica is a testament to the city's rich history and its enduring connection to the Roman Catholic faith. The choir played a vital role in the daily life of the basilica, leading the congregation in hymns and prayers during Mass. Their voices filled the cathedral with music, creating a sacred and uplifting atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a sense of the spiritual and cultural importance of music in the lives of the people of Lima during the 1920s.
