EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the unique religious practices of the Shakers: Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearance. The image transports us to a Meeting at the Mount Lebanon Community in Lebanon Springs, New York State, USA, back in 1870. In this enchanting scene, men and women can be seen dancing separately but united by their shared faith. Their hands are held high with palms upwards, as if reaching out to catch God's grace and blessing. This symbolic gesture reflects their deep devotion and belief in receiving divine guidance. The wood engraving technique used to create this print adds an element of nostalgia and authenticity to the image. It beautifully captures the intricate details of each dancer's movement while preserving a sense of simplicity that is characteristic of the Shaker sect. As we observe this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the profound impact religion has on people's lives. The Shakers were known for their strict adherence to celibacy and communal living; they sought spiritual fulfillment through dance and worship. This print serves as a window into a world long gone but not forgotten—a testament to human spirituality throughout time. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs while appreciating the diversity that exists within different religious communities across cultures.
