EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the moment Saint Paula (Santa Paola Romana) embarks on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 385, accompanied by her daughter Sainte Eustochium and guided by Saint Jerome. At just 33 years old and already a widow, she displayed remarkable courage and devotion as she set out on this spiritual journey. The painting by Giuseppe Bottani beautifully depicts the scene, with intricate details of the man believed to be Saint Jerome with his distinctive beard. The composition exudes a sense of reverence and determination, reflecting the faith that inspired these pilgrims to undertake such a challenging voyage. As they leave behind familiar surroundings for the unknown lands of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, one can only imagine the mix of emotions that must have filled their hearts - anticipation, awe, perhaps even trepidation. Yet their unwavering belief in God's guidance propelled them forward on this sacred quest. Through this image, we are reminded of the power of faith to inspire great acts of devotion and sacrifice. Saint Paula's story serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of those who seek spiritual enlightenment through travel and exploration.
