In the heart of Baden, Austria, stands a testament to history - the Trinity Column dating back to 1714. As people stroll around Hauptplatz, surrounded by magnificent 18th-century buildings they can reminded of a time when the world was ravaged by disease. Across borders in Pisek, South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic, another sculpture catches the eye. The detail of the Marian column on Alsovo namesti tells a story of resilience and faith amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder that even in times of darkness, hope can prevail. February 2021 brings with it a chilling beauty as snow blankets Old Town Square in Prague. Against this wintry backdrop stands the Church of our Lady before Tyn, its spires reaching towards an illuminated sky. A scene that evokes both awe and contemplation. Venturing further into Vienna's Graben pedestrian street unveils an architectural marvel known as Pestsaule or Plague Column. This towering structure is not merely decorative but carries deep historical significance - reminding us of past pandemics and their lasting impact on society. Kosice in Slovakia also bears witness to this somber history with its own Plague Column at dusk. Bathed in fading light, it silently commemorates lives lost while serving as a symbol of strength for future generations. Throughout these different locations across Europe lies one common thread - the presence of Marian columns representing devotion and protection during times plagued by diseases such as bubonic plague or cholera outbreaks. As we gaze upon these striking images captured by EyeUbiquitous_20122272/71/73 photographers, let us reflect on our shared human experience and find solace knowing that even amid chaos and despair, there is always room for hope and renewal.
