EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and spirituality in one frame. Titled "Lithostrotos, the ancient Roman pavement" it transports us to Old City, Jerusalem, Israel. This sacred site is believed to be where Jesus carried his cross on his way to crucifixion. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the cracked remains of a stone slab that once formed part of this ancient Roman pavement. The markings etched onto its surface tell a story that resonates deeply with Christian tradition. According to legend, these marks were left by dice used in a game played by Roman soldiers for Christ's garments. The significance of this holy site cannot be overstated. It serves as a tangible connection between past and present, reminding us of the profound events that unfolded here centuries ago. Each crack and crevice holds within it an untold tale from antiquity. Through the lens of photographer eZev Radovan, we can almost feel the weight of history pressing down upon us. The solemn atmosphere evokes contemplation and reverence for those who seek solace or spiritual enlightenment at this hallowed ground. In preserving this moment frozen in time, Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into the depths of human faith and devotion. This print serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst cracked stones and faded markings, there lies an enduring legacy waiting to be discovered by those who choose to listen closely enough.
