EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the profound moment of a Serbian soldier's spiritual preparation before embarking on the brutal realities of the First World War. Dated 1914, the image shows a soldier, dressed in his military uniform, deeply engrossed in prayer before an ornate altar adorned with candles and a sacred ikon. The soldier's hands are clasped in front of him, his head bowed in reverence, as he confesses his sins and seeks the blessings of his saints. The ikon, a revered religious icon, is a symbol of faith and protection for the Serbian people, and the burning candle represents the soldier's connection to his religious beliefs and the hope for a safe return from the battlefield. This poignant scene offers a glimpse into the deeply held religious convictions of the Serbian soldiers during the early days of the Great War, as they sought solace and strength from their faith in the face of the unknown and the daunting challenges that lay ahead.
