EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Eleonore Zugun, a young Romanian peasant girl, is seen sitting humbly before Countess Wassilo Serecki. The image captures a moment of profound connection between two women, united by an extraordinary circumstance. Eleonore Zugun, born in the late 1800s in the rural villages of Romania, was known for her strange and inexplicable stigmata - the appearance of wounds on her hands, feet, and side, mirroring those of Christ's crucifixion. Her condition first manifested when she was just a child, and it soon drew the attention of the local community and, eventually, the nobility. Countess Wassilo Serecki, a woman of great intellect and compassion, was deeply intrigued by Eleonore's story. Moved by her plight and believing that the girl was a genuine mystic, the countess offered to take her under her protection. The photograph captures the moment of their first meeting, with Eleonore's downcast gaze and the countess's gentle, reassuring touch. The historical significance of this image lies in the unusual alliance between a peasant girl and a countess, brought together by the mysterious and paranormal. At a time when the Romanian peasantry was often marginalized and overlooked by the ruling classes, this photograph offers a glimpse into a rare moment of understanding and compassion. The photograph also speaks to the enduring fascination with the unexplained and the supernatural in human history. Eleonore's stigmata, while inexplicable from a scientific perspective, continues to intrigue and inspire people to this day. The image of the countess and the girl, united by their shared belief in the power of the divine, serves as a poignant reminder of the capacity for empathy and connection, even in the most unlikely of circumstances.
