EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity and passion of John Knox, the influential Scottish Protestant preacher, as he delivers a sermon from the high pulpit of Edinburgh's St. Giles' Cathedral. Dated between 1505 and 1572, this historic photograph transports us back to the Reformation era in Scotland, a time of great religious and political upheaval. The grim, gothic architecture of the cathedral serves as a stark backdrop to the scene, with its dark, ornate stonework and intricately carved details. The pulpit, a symbol of the power and authority of the Church, looms large over Knox and the rapt audience below. The preacher, dressed in a simple black robe and wearing a fur-lined cap, stands with his hands raised, his eyes fixed on the congregation. His fiery sermons, filled with biblical truths and calls to repentance, were known to leave both adults and children overwhelmed with emotion. The pulpit itself is adorned with coat pegs, where the robes of the clergy would have been hung before they ascended to deliver their sermons. The image captures a moment of profound spiritual connection between the preacher and his flock, a testament to the enduring power of the spoken word and the transformative effect it can have on individuals and communities. John Knox's legacy as a leader of the Scottish Reformation and a champion of Protestantism continues to resonate today, making this photograph a valuable historical record and a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the human spirit.
