EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the annals of early Christian history, Saint Melito, Bishop of Sardis, is depicted as a wise and contemplative figure against a serene landscape. The saint, dressed in the robes of a bishop and wearing a halo to signify his holiness, sits on a rocky outcropping, his sandal-clad feet dangling in a clear, tranquil pool. The oval composition of the print draws the viewer's eye to the central figure, with the rolling hills and verdant trees providing a beautiful and peaceful backdrop. Saint Melito, who lived around AD 170, was an influential theologian and bishop in the early Christian church. He is best known for his work "On the Paschal Sacrifice," which is one of the earliest surviving Christian Paschal homilies. Melito's writings were influential in shaping the liturgy and theology of the early Church, particularly in the area of the Eucharist and the Paschal mystery. The image of Melito as a burgher, or respectable citizen, is a common one in Christian art, reflecting the bishop's status and authority within the community. The sandals he wears are a reminder of his earthly origins and his connection to the people he served. The peaceful setting of the print serves to emphasize the spiritual and contemplative nature of Melito's role as a bishop and theologian, as well as the deep connection between the early Christian faith and the natural world. This beautiful print offers a glimpse into the rich history of early Christianity and the important role played by figures like Saint Melito in shaping the theology and liturgy of the Church. It is a reminder of the deep spiritual traditions that have shaped the lives of Christians throughout history and continue to inspire and guide us today.
