EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of departure for the annual Hajj pilgrimage from Istanbul to Mecca in the late 19th century. At the forefront of the procession is the Sacred Camel, a symbol of the Sultan's divine authority and the vehicle chosen to carry the precious gifts from the Ottoman ruler to the holiest city in Islam. The camel, adorned with rich fabrics and ornate decorations, is led by a group of pilgrims dressed in traditional attire, their faces filled with determination and reverence. The Hajj pilgrimage, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is a spiritual journey that every able-bodied Muslim is expected to undertake at least once in their lifetime. The pilgrims, who come from all corners of the Ottoman Empire and beyond, walk together in unity, leaving behind their worldly concerns to focus on their faith and devotion. The procession makes its way out of Istanbul, the historic city that straddles Europe and Asia, and heads towards the port where they will embark on the long and arduous journey across the Red Sea. The pilgrims, carrying their essential supplies and provisions, walk alongside the Sacred Camel, a reminder of their shared faith and the bond they share with their fellow believers. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and enduring traditions of the Islamic faith, and offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was connected by the shared pilgrimage to Mecca. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of faith, unity, and the human spirit in the face of adversity and the passing of time.
