EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing mosaic artwork titled "Abel offering a lamb and Melchisedech offering bread at the Altar". Created by the Byzantine School in the 6th century, this masterpiece adorns the lunette on the South wall of San Vitale Basilica in Ravenna, Italy. The scene depicted here holds profound religious significance. In Genesis, Melchisedek, both priest and king, presents bread and wine to Abraham. This act is believed to foreshadow Jesus Christ's ultimate sacrifice according to traditional Catholic and Christian doctrine. Interestingly, Salem, where this encounter took place, has been identified with Jerusalem. Intriguingly juxtaposed with Melchisedek's offering is Abel presenting a lamb as his sacrifice. Abel was Adam and Eve's second son who tragically lost his life at the hands of his own brother Cain. This poignant portrayal serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for both devotion and violence. The intricate details of this mosaic are awe-inspiring; each tile meticulously placed to create an exquisite composition that stands as a testament to Byzantine artistry. The vibrant colors bring vitality to every element within the image - from Abel's humble gesture to Melchisedek's regal presence. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork captured in photographic form, we are reminded of our spiritual heritage and its enduring impact on our beliefs today. It invites us into contemplation about sacrifice, faithfulness, redemption, and ultimately points towards the
