EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 15th century print captures the controversial practice of Indulgence sales, as carried out by the Jesuit Order in the bustling town of Lucerne, Switzerland. Indulgences were a significant aspect of medieval Catholicism, offering the promise of a shorter period in Purgatory in exchange for financial contributions to the Church. The image portrays a crowd of people, eagerly approaching the Jesuit priests, ready to make their offerings. The priests, dressed in their distinctive robes and hats, are shown collecting the money from the faithful, their expressions suggesting a mixture of piety and business acumen. The print underscores the complex relationship between religion and commerce during this period, as well as the widespread belief in the power to reduce one's time in Purgatory. This poignant snapshot from the past invites us to reflect on the historical context of Indulgences and their enduring impact on the spiritual and financial landscape of the 15th century.
