EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous ceremony that took place in Goa, India around 1650. The image depicts the release of Father Ephraim de Nevers from the clutches of the Inquisition, an event filled with both relief and jubilation. Father Ephraim, a devoted French Capuchin monk who had embarked on a missionary journey to India in 1645, found himself imprisoned by the inquisitors at Goa. However, his faith and perseverance did not go unnoticed. The king of Golconda intervened and orchestrated his liberation, marking this occasion as one of triumph over religious persecution. This engraving from Histoire des Inquisitions published in Cologne in 1759 immortalizes this extraordinary moment. The scene showcases a blend of cultures and religions; it symbolizes unity among Christians as they gather to witness Father Ephraim's freedom being restored. It serves as a testament to the resilience and strength of individuals who stand up against oppression for their beliefs. This powerful image invites us to reflect on the significance of religious tolerance and reminds us that even during dark times when freedom is suppressed, there is always hope for liberation. It stands as a reminder that no matter our differences or backgrounds, we all have the capacity to come together for justice and compassion.
