EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of deep spiritual connection at the ancient menhir stones of Montchauvet in Normandie, France. Despite the disapproval of priests and the spread of Christianity, many peasants in this region still hold fast to their allegiance to the old gods of druidic tradition.
In this image, we see women kneeling before the towering megaliths, their heads bowed in prayer. The scene is steeped in history and archaeology, as these stones have stood for centuries as symbols of power and mystery.
The year is 1855, but the rituals being performed here are timeless. The women's devotion to these superstitions speaks to a profound sense of faith and connection to something greater than themselves.
As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded that history is not just a series of dates and events - it is alive in the traditions and beliefs that continue to shape our world today. The menhirs stand as silent witnesses to a time long past, yet still very much present in the hearts and minds of those who come to pray before them.
This print by Rights Managed offers us a glimpse into a world where old meets new, where ancient gods still hold sway over modern souls. It is a reminder that some things never truly fade away - they simply evolve with time.
