EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Stone of Anointing, a sacred site within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, Israel. Believed to be the spot where Jesus' body was prepared for burial by Joseph of Arimathea, the Stone of Anointing holds deep significance in Christian tradition. The image reveals the stone, adorned with intricate carvings, surrounded by ornate candlesticks, holders, and candelabras. The warm glow of the flickering candles casts an ethereal light over the scene, creating an atmosphere of reverence and contemplation. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also known as Ecclesia Sancti Sepulchri or The Church of the Resurrection, and Church of the Anastasis, is a remarkable architectural and spiritual landmark. It is believed that the site encompasses several key events in the life of Jesus, including his crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. The Stone of Anointing, with its rich history and profound symbolism, serves as a powerful reminder of the deep devotion and faith that has endured throughout the centuries. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when pilgrims from around the world came to pay their respects at this hallowed site.
