EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene atmosphere of the Religious Hospital in Latakia, Syria, circa 1908. Established and run by the devoted Sisters of Deliverance, this institution was a beacon of hope and healing for the community during a time when modern medical care was scarce. The principal port city of Syria, Latakia, also known as Lattakia, Latakiyah, or al-Ladhiqiyah, was a bustling hub of activity, with ships from around the Mediterranean regularly docking at its shores. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, the hospital stood as a tranquil refuge. The Sisters of Deliverance, a Roman Catholic religious institute, dedicated their lives to caring for the sick and the poor. Their selfless service extended beyond the physical realm, as they also provided spiritual solace to their patients. In this image, we see the sisters tending to their patients with compassion and dedication, their faces expressing a deep sense of empathy and care. The hospital's modest yet well-kept facilities are a testament to the sisters' commitment to their mission. The photograph's muted colors and soft lighting create an ethereal quality, further emphasizing the sanctuary-like nature of the hospital. The Sisters of Deliverance's unwavering dedication to their patients, combined with the calming environment they created, made the Religious Hospital in Latakia an essential part of the community during the early 20th century. This poignant image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, reminding us of the power of compassion and the importance of caring for those in need.
