EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 6th century image from the annals of Christian art, Pope Gregory I, also known as Gregory the Great, is depicted in deep contemplation as he receives a divine revelation from none other than Jesus Christ himself. The question of the Real Presence - the belief that the true body and blood of Christ are present in the Eucharist, or Holy Communion - had long been a subject of theological debate among the faithful. In this powerful and symbolic scene, Jesus, in the guise of a regal and majestic figure, appears before Gregory to put an end to the uncertainty. With a gesture of assurance, he confirms the truth of the Real Presence, affirming that his body is indeed present in the consecrated bread, and his blood in the consecrated wine. The pope, humbly bowed before the divine visitor, receives this revelation with a profound sense of awe and reverence. The image serves as a testament to the deep faith and devotion of the early Christian Church, and the unwavering belief in the transformative power of the Eucharist. This work of art, a testament to the rich artistic and religious heritage of the 6th century, continues to inspire and captivate viewers to this day. It serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of faith, the power of divine revelation, and the profound mystery of the Real Presence in the sacrament of the Eucharist.
