EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the haunting beauty of "The ruins of the Basilica of St Simeon Stylites the Elder" nestled in the hills near Aleppo, Syria. Standing as a testament to ancient Christian architecture and religious devotion, this site holds immense historical significance. Intriguingly, it was here that St Simeon spent an astonishing 30 years atop a pillar until his death in 459 AD. The Basilica itself was constructed around this very pillar, which remarkably still remains visible today. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the remnants of a once-thriving place of worship. The Byzantine influence is evident in the intricate design and grandeur displayed by these ruins. This sacred space served as a beacon for Christians seeking spiritual guidance during its heyday. Now reduced to crumbling walls and weathered stone, it exudes an aura of both melancholy and awe-inspiring resilience. As we contemplate this photograph captured by JL from Discover Images by AWL, our minds wander through centuries past—reflecting on faith's enduring power amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder that even though time may erode physical structures, their stories continue to resonate within us. Let us cherish such glimpses into history and honor those who dedicated their lives to religion with unwavering commitment like St Simeon did atop his pillar all those years ago.
