EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting image captures a moment of intense religious fervor and devotion among Shiite pilgrims in Iran during the early 20th century. The photo, taken in 1909, shows Shiite fanatics in a state of ecstasy as they mutilate themselves during their pilgrimage to Kerbela. The sight of these devotees engaging in self-mutilation may be shocking to some, but it is important to understand that this extreme act is seen as a form of penance and sacrifice by those who practice it. For these pilgrims, the physical pain they endure serves as a way to demonstrate their deep faith and dedication to their religion. The historical significance of this image cannot be overstated. It provides a glimpse into the rituals and practices of a particular sect within Islam, shedding light on the diversity and complexity of religious beliefs around the world. As we look at this photograph, we are reminded of the power that religion holds over individuals and communities, inspiring acts of devotion that may seem incomprehensible to outsiders. It serves as a reminder that faith can manifest itself in many different ways, each one deeply meaningful to those who participate in them.
