EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Military Field Mass By Holy Name Soc. of Roman Catholic Church - General View, 1910," captures a profound moment in American religious history. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image portrays a large crowd of people gathered outdoors for a Mass celebration. The setting is the Military Field, and the occasion is hosted by the Holy Name Society of the Roman Catholic Church. The photograph showcases an array of individuals, predominantly women, dressed in their Sunday best. Many of them are holding parasols, shielding themselves from the sun or adding a touch of elegance to their attire. The women's clothing ranges from simple dresses to more elaborate outfits, reflecting the diverse socio-economic backgrounds of the attendees. The Holy Name Society, also known as the Confraternity of the Most Holy Name of God and Jesus, is a Catholic lay organization dedicated to the veneration of the Holy Name of Jesus. The society's members, both men and women, would gather for regular meetings, processions, and Masses to strengthen their faith and promote devotion to their religious beliefs. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the religious practices and fashion trends of the early 20th century in the United States. The image is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress, which documents various aspects of American life during this period. The photograph's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us to a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the rich history of religious traditions in the United States.
