EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to the ancient city of Philippi in Greece, a place steeped in history and intrigue. The scene depicted here holds significant importance in the annals of both Roman and Christian history. In 42 BCE, this was the site of the decisive Battle of Philippi, where the forces of Mark Antony and Octavius (later known as Octavian and Augustus, the first Roman Emperor) defeated the combined armies of Brutus and Cassius. The assassins of Julius Caesar had hoped to establish a new Roman Republic, but their dreams were shattered on this fateful day. But the story of Philippi does not end there. Circa 50 CE, the Apostle Paul, along with Silas and Timothy, arrived in this very city, marking the beginning of Christian evangelism in Europe. Paul's missionary journey led him to Philippi, where he preached to the inhabitants, including Lydia, the first European convert to Christianity. This pivotal moment in history is commemorated in the New Testament's Book of Acts. The image, captured in an 1840 print from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of history that unfolds in this ancient Greek city. The ruins of the Roman theater, visible in the background, serve as a poignant reminder of the battles and triumphs that once took place within its walls. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of history, inviting us to explore the stories that have shaped our world.
