EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a poignant moment in Shaker history as members of the Lebanon Community in Lebanon Springs, New York make their final procession from Meeting in 1850. The men and women are depicted with palms upturned, symbolically reaching out to catch God's grace and blessing as they bid farewell to their sacred gathering. The Shakers were a millenarian restorationist Christian sect known for their simple way of life, communal living, and ecstatic worship practices. In this image, we see them solemnly parading together in unity, embodying the values of humility, devotion, and faith that defined their religious beliefs. The black and white engraving adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the historical significance of this moment in the early 19th century. The meticulous detail captured by the artist invites us to reflect on the spiritual intensity and sense of community that characterized Shaker gatherings. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of the Shakers and their commitment to seeking divine inspiration through prayerful rituals like this final procession from Meeting. It serves as a powerful testament to their unwavering dedication to living out their faith with grace and reverence.
