EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense emotion and devotion in the Passion Play at Courtrai. The image depicts Saint Veronica holding a cloth with the face of Jesus imprinted on it, believed to have been left by him as he carried his cross to Calvary. This powerful symbol of faith and compassion is beautifully portrayed in this historical photograph from 1940.
The play itself has deep roots in Belgian history, dating back centuries as a way to reenact the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The actors who participate in these performances take on the roles of biblical figures such as Saint Veronica, bringing their stories to life for audiences to witness.
In this particular scene, Saint Veronica's act of wiping Jesus's brow with her cloth showcases her unwavering dedication and love for him. The expression on her face conveys both sorrow and reverence, making it clear that she understands the significance of what she is doing.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of profound spirituality and theatrical artistry. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and storytelling throughout history.
