EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting city of Ohrid in Macedonia, where the majestic Church of St. Sophia proudly stands amidst a serene cemetery. Dating back to the mid-20th century, this photograph captures the timeless beauty and sacredness of this historical site. The Church of St. Sophia is an architectural masterpiece that showcases intricate details and elements characteristic of its Byzantine origins. Its sturdy structure boasts a harmonious blend of simplicity and grandeur, with its towering walls adorned by delicate decorations and sections that speak volumes about its rich history. At the heart of this magnificent church, we find a striking element - a cross that symbolizes faith, hope, and salvation for countless generations who have sought solace within these hallowed walls. The three light window illuminates the interior with ethereal rays as if inviting worshippers to bask in divine enlightenment. Surrounded by tombstones bearing witness to lives once lived, this cemetery serves as a final resting place for those who held steadfastly onto their Christian beliefs. It exudes an air of tranquility while reminding us all about life's impermanence and our shared mortality. Through Alinari's lens, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the spiritual ambiance that permeated every inch of this holy ground during 1950-1960s Macedonia. This print not only captures an architectural marvel but also encapsulates centuries-old traditions deeply rooted in religious devotion. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind capturing such moments frozen in time as well as reflect on our own spirituality within these sacred spaces – places where faith intertwines with human existence itself.
