EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time from September 25, 1901, in Equihen-Plage, France. The image depicts a procession of the blessing of the sea with Swiss clergy, local inhabitants, and young girls adorned in traditional headdresses. The scene is filled with religious symbolism as the clergy carry out the ritual of blessing the waters.
The atmosphere is one of reverence and community spirit as people gather to participate in this age-old tradition. The ornate oriflame a marie immaculee stands tall amidst the crowd, adding to the solemnity of the occasion.
The women's intricate costumes and flags waving in the breeze add a splash of color to this black-and-white snapshot from history. It's fascinating to see how customs and traditions were upheld by different cultures during this period.
As we gaze upon this photograph taken over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when faith played an integral role in people's lives. The blend of religion, culture, and nature captured in this image serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across time and space.
