EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in rural Russia during the 1890s. The image showcases a landowner graciously giving the Paschal greeting to her peasants, emphasizing the significance of Easter traditions within the Eastern Orthodox Church. Instead of a conventional hello, this heartfelt exchange involves greeting one another with the powerful words "Christ is Risen!". The response, "Truly, He is Risen" echoes throughout the countryside. The photograph also reveals an intriguing cultural custom as it depicts both men and women engaging in a triple kiss on alternating cheeks after exchanging greetings. This traditional gesture symbolizes unity and camaraderie among these individuals despite their differing social statuses. Amidst this scene lies an underlying contrast between wealth and poverty, as represented by the elegant attire of the landowner juxtaposed against the simple clothing worn by her humble peasants. It serves as a reminder of societal divisions prevalent during that era. Preserved from a private collection, this monochrome snapshot offers us an intimate glimpse into Russian rural life at its core – deeply rooted in religious devotion, tradition, and interconnectedness.
