EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the late 19th century, titled "A Priest Calls For God To Aid Him In His Orthodoxy While He Is Surrounded By Devils Which Could Lead Him Into Heresy" we are transported back to the medieval era. The illustration, featured in Paul Lacroix's renowned book "Military And Religious Life In The Middle Ages" takes us on a visual journey through the struggles faced by clergy during that time. The scene depicts a courageous cleric standing tall amidst a menacing circle of devils. With arms outstretched and eyes closed in deep concentration, he fervently calls upon God for divine assistance in preserving his orthodoxy against the temptations of heresy. Surrounding him are grotesque demons, their twisted forms representing the forces that seek to push him astray. Amidst this spiritual battle, angelic figures hover above, ready to join forces with the priest as they fight against evil. This powerful imagery serves as a reminder of the constant struggle between good and evil that pervaded religious life in medieval times. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction of this mediaeval illustration captures both its intricate details and emotional intensity. As we gaze at this print today, it offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own battles with temptation and reaffirm our commitment to upholding our beliefs despite external pressures.
