1560 Alcantara Companion Crosses Foot Miracles Pedro Tagus Takes Walks Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 16th century, we witness the miraculous tale of San Pedro de Alcantara, the beloved Spanish saint, as he walks on the tranquil waters of the River Tagus. Circa 1560, this enchanting print showcases the moment of faith and devotion as the saint, accompanied by an unnamed companion, effortlessly crosses the river, seemingly defying the natural laws of gravity and water. San Pedro de Alcantara, also known as Pedro de Ribadilla, was a humble hermit from Andalusia, Spain. He was renowned for his deep spiritual connection with God and his extraordinary ability to perform miracles. One of his most famous feats was his ability to walk on water, an act of faith that drew thousands of pilgrims to witness his divine intervention. The River Tagus, a significant body of water in the Iberian Peninsula, is depicted in this print as calm and serene, reflecting the peaceful and otherworldly atmosphere surrounding the miraculous event. The saint and his companion, both clad in simple robes, appear focused and determined, their gazes fixed on the distant shore as they make their way across the water. This stunning print, with its intricate details and rich colors, offers a glimpse into the deep-rooted faith and belief in the paranormal and miraculous that characterized the Spanish Renaissance. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the belief in the extraordinary, reminding us of the transformative impact that spirituality can have on our lives.
