EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the magical fusion of pagan myth and Christian storytelling in the heart of the Christmas tradition. The photograph, taken in 1909, depicts two angels gracefully perched on the thatched roof of a humble stable. The angels, their wings spread in a protective embrace, reach down to light the candles adorning the Christmas tree that stands proudly atop the roof. The tree, bedecked with twinkling lights and delicate ornaments, casts a warm, enchanting glow over the scene below. The stable, a simple yet significant backdrop to this tableau, is a reminder of the humble origins of the Christian story. The infant Jesus, swaddled in soft linens and lying in a manger, gazes up at the angels with a serene expression. The peaceful scene is a poignant reminder of the unity of the divine and the human, the sacred and the secular, in the rich tapestry of Christmas customs. The use of candles on the Christmas tree is a historical custom that predates the Christian adoption of the tree as a symbol of the holiday. Originating from pagan traditions, the use of candles on trees was believed to bring light and ward off darkness and evil spirits. The Christian adaptation of this custom, with the addition of the baby Jesus and the angels, serves to bridge the gap between the old and the new, the past and the present, in a beautiful and enduring way. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and profound symbolism, invites us to reflect on the history and meaning of the Christmas story, and the enduring customs that continue to unite us in the spirit of the season.
