EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Church at Moudros, a historic Orthodox place of worship located on the beautiful island of Lemnos, Greece. The image dates back to the early 1910s, during a pivotal period in world history – the First World War. At that time, Moudros served as a significant Allied base for the Dardanelles Campaign. The serene image belies the turbulent times, as British soldiers can be seen in the foreground, their uniforms and equipment a stark contrast to the religious symbolism of the church. The church's towering bell tower, adorned with intricate crosses, stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Its whitewashed walls, with their distinctive Orthodox architectural features, remain unscathed amidst the military presence. The Church at Moudros is a testament to the coexistence of religion and war, the sacred and the profane. It stands as a symbol of resilience and continuity, a beacon of faith amidst the chaos of war. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the human experience during wartime, where the everyday – like prayer and worship – continued, even in the midst of conflict.
