EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken circa 1930 in Spreewald, we are transported back to a cherished Easter tradition. The image showcases a woman surrounded by her godchildren, all of them holding loaves of bread known as "ostersemme". These special loaves, shaped like palm leaves, were traditionally given on Easter Sunday. The scene exudes warmth and joy as the woman's face radiates with affectionate pride while she stands amidst the group. The children's faces light up with excitement as they eagerly clutch their ostersemme loaves. One can almost imagine the delicious aroma wafting through the air. This photo beautifully captures not only the significance of Easter but also highlights the importance of community and family bonds during this festive season. It serves as a poignant reminder that traditions hold immense value in preserving our cultural heritage. The timeless quality of this image is enhanced by its monochromatic composition. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on the expressions and emotions captured within each individual frame. As we gaze upon this nostalgic snapshot from history, we are reminded that some traditions withstand time's passage and continue to bring people together across generations. This photograph encapsulates both the simplicity and profoundness of an age-old custom - one that celebrates love, unity, and sustenance during Easter festivities in Spreewald.
