EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the year 1490, as Christopher Columbus, weary from his groundbreaking voyages, sought refuge and respite at the Convent of La Rabida in Lorgues, southern France. The monks of the Monastery of Saint-Jacques de la Gallette welcomed Columbus and his crew with open arms, providing them with much-needed sustenance and shelter. The Convent of La Rabida, a significant historical site, is nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Lorgues, a charming village in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The convent, founded in the 13th century, is a testament to the rich monastic heritage of the region and has played a pivotal role in the area's history. Columbus' stay at La Rabida is an intriguing chapter in the explorer's life. It is believed that during his time at the convent, Columbus shared his discoveries with the monks, who in turn, spread the news of the New World to the wider European community. This revelation sparked a renewed interest in exploration and discovery, leading to an era of unprecedented global expansion. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the ancient walls of the convent standing proud against the backdrop of a serene landscape. The monks, dressed in their traditional habits, can be seen tending to their gardens or engaging in quiet contemplation. The tranquility of the scene is a stark contrast to the excitement and adventure that Columbus and his crew had recently experienced during their voyages. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of history, religion, and the natural world. It invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the beauty of the present, and look forward to the future with curiosity and wonder.
