EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 17th century in Cuba, where the Church and Hospital of Paula stands as a testament to both religious devotion and healthcare. Erected in 1664 during the rule of Bishop Juan Zaenz de Manorca, an infamous Inquisitor known for his severe methods, this architectural marvel inspired awe and fear among the people. The hospital owes its existence to the generous donation of priest Don Nicolas Estevez Borges, who recognized the pressing need for medical care within the community. The image captures a moment from the 1920s, showcasing a group of men gathered outside this historic establishment. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of how religion and healthcare intersected in Cuban society. With its monochrome charm, this photograph highlights not only the grandeur of colonial architecture but also serves as a reminder of Cuba's rich history. Titled "Church and Hospital Paula" it is part of a cigar card collection that aimed to promote cultural awareness through imagery. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported into an era marked by faith, dedication, and progress. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come while honoring those who laid down foundations for better lives through their philanthropy and commitment to serving others.
