EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant sight of the Virgin Mary statue standing amidst the ruins of a church, likely destroyed during the brutal Battle of Passchendale in November 1917. The Battle of Passchendale, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres, was one of the largest battles of World War I and took place in the Ypres Salient in Belgium. The 1st Canadian Division, along with other Allied forces, fought against the German army in a series of intense and bloody engagements. The image of the Virgin Mary, her serene face gazing out over the devastation, serves as a stark reminder of the destruction and loss wrought by the war. The ruins of the church, with its broken arches and shattered stained glass windows, bear witness to the devastating impact of the battle. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to bear witness to a moment in history that continues to resonate with us today. The Battle of Passchendale was one of the costliest battles in World War I, with over 275,000 casualties on both sides. The battlefield, now a peaceful and serene landscape, is a testament to the resilience of nature and the human spirit. The image of the Virgin Mary in the ruins serves as a symbol of hope and healing in the midst of destruction, reminding us of the enduring power of faith and the importance of remembering the sacrifices made during times of war.
