Preserving Tradition - The New Sanctuary of Debra Bizen in Eritrea
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled MFC-S-003556-0013, takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century when a new sanctuary was unveiled in the heart of Eritrea. Capturing a moment frozen in time, the image showcases an exquisite architectural marvel that served as a spiritual refuge for the local Christian community. In the foreground, we are introduced to a group of natives adorned in their vibrant traditional attire. Their colorful garments and intricate accessories reflect not only their ethnic identity but also their deep-rooted connection to their cultural heritage. With pride and grace, they stand before this magnificent religious structure, embodying both faith and tradition. The church itself stands tall amidst lush shrubbery and vegetation, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Its unique design features an impressive staircase leading up to its entrance – reminiscent of a ladder reaching towards heaven. This symbolic element adds depth to the photograph's narrative by highlighting humanity's eternal quest for spiritual enlightenment. Captured by an unidentified author from Alinari during his exploration of Eritrea's diverse population and rich folklore traditions, this portrait offers valuable insights into anthropology and ethnography studies. It provides glimpses into the lives of black Africans at that time – showcasing negroid populations who proudly embraced their nationality while celebrating their shared faith. As we delve into this historical treasure trove through visual storytelling, let us appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also recognize how religion can serve as a unifying force within diverse communities across continents. This remarkable photograph invites us on a journey through time – reminding us to cherish our roots while embracing progress and change.
