EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 19th-century photo print, created by W Holl, transports us to a biblical scene from Mark 16:6. The image depicts the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene at Christ's tomb, evoking powerful emotions of grief and hope. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this pivotal moment in Christianity. Jesus' body was sealed in a tomb after his crucifixion, but as the scripture reveals, he rose from the dead. The words spoken by an angel resonate through time: "He is risen; he is not here". In this poignant depiction, we witness both sorrow and faith intertwined. The bereaved women stand before the empty tomb with expressions that reflect their deep grief for their beloved Savior yet also hint at a glimmer of hope. Their devotion to Jesus shines through their tear-filled eyes. The artist skillfully conveys the atmosphere of mourning within a cemetery setting while emphasizing religious symbolism such as Madonna-like figures and mausoleums. This visual representation invites contemplation on themes like death, resurrection, motherhood, and faith. W Holl's engraving is based on an early-mid 19th-century painting by Philipp Veit—a testament to how art can transcend time and capture profound moments in history. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it serves as a reminder that even amidst our darkest hours—when all seems lost—there is always room for miracles to unfold. It beckons us to behold not just an empty tomb but also the enduring power of belief in something greater than ourselves.
