EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from the late 1870s, transports us back in time to the sacred and enchanting Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. Located near the St. Anne's Church, this ancient site holds immense historical and religious significance for Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike. The Pool of Bethesda, mentioned in the Bible (John 5:1-9), is believed to be the site where an angel would periodically disturb the waters, healing those who were first to enter after the disturbance. The serene image of the pool, surrounded by lush greenery and dotted with palm trees, invites reflection and contemplation. In this photograph, we can observe the pool's tranquil waters, reflecting the gentle light of a lantern held by a figure standing near the edge. The Victorian or Edwardian era traveler, dressed in fashionable attire, adds a sense of intrigue and adventure to the scene. The intricate details of the scene, from the ornate stonework to the delicate fabric of the traveler's clothing, are captured with remarkable clarity and precision. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of the Holy Land, and the enduring allure of religious sites for travelers and pilgrims throughout history. The moral and ethical teachings of the major world religions – Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – continue to resonate with people across the globe, making this photograph a testament to the power of faith and the human spirit.
