Algeria Algerian Berber Prayer Praying Worship Worshipper Worshipping Bougie
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bougie - Grande Priere arabe 2e phase, c1900" takes us back to the early 20th century in Bejaia, formerly known as Bougie, Algeria. The image captures a moment of great religious significance - the second phase of the Great Arab prayer. In this powerful scene, we see a large crowd of men gathered outside, engaging in fervent worship and prayer. Each individual is fully immersed in their devotion, kneeling on the ground with eyes closed and hands raised towards the sky. Their unwavering faith is palpable through their expressions and body language. The location itself adds to the mystique of this photograph. Set against an Algerian backdrop, rich with history and cultural heritage, it showcases not only a religious gathering but also offers glimpses into daily life during that era. The monochrome effect enhances the timeless quality of this image while allowing us to focus solely on its subjects' spirituality. It serves as a reminder of how religion can unite people from different walks of life under one common purpose. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by A. Caravano over a century ago, we are transported to an extraordinary moment frozen in time – witnessing an act of worship that transcends boundaries and speaks to our shared humanity.
