EDITORS COMMENTS
The Shadow of the Cross: A Moment in the Life of Jesus and Mary (circa 30 BC - 30 AD) This evocative image captures a significant moment in the life of Jesus of Nazareth and his mother Mary. The young Jesus, around the age of 12, stands on the shoulders of his mother, making the sign of the cross with an outstretched hand, as the warm sunlight casts a long shadow of the cross behind them. This scene, believed to be depicted in the apocryphal text, The Infancy Gospel of James, represents an early manifestation of Jesus' divine nature and his connection to the cross, which would later become the instrument of his crucifixion and salvation for humanity. Jesus, the carpenter's son, was born in Nazareth, a small town in Galilee, around 30 BC. Raised in a devout Jewish family, he was well-versed in the scriptures and the teachings of the elders. As he grew older, he began to understand his unique role in the world and the mission that lay before him. Mary, the Virgin Mother, cradles her son with a tender touch, her eyes filled with pride and love. She knew that her child was destined for greatness, and she nurtured him with the wisdom and strength that only a mother could provide. The shadow of the cross, a symbol of sacrifice and redemption, looms large behind them, a reminder of the trials and tribulations that awaited Jesus in the years to come. This poignant moment in their lives serves as a testament to the deep bond between mother and son, as well as the divine plan that was set in motion long before their time. This historical photograph, with its rich symbolism and emotional depth, invites us to reflect on the profound impact of the life, teachings, and sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth, and the unwavering love and support of his mother Mary.
