EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Cumaean Sibyl Foretells the Coming of Jesus This evocative image captures the legendary encounter between the ancient Cumaean Sibyl and Jesus, a pious invention of the early Christians. The Cumaean Sibyl, a renowned prophetess from the ancient city of Cumae in Italy, was revered for her ability to foretell future events through divine inspiration. As the story goes, the Sibyl, who lived during the time of the Roman Republic, was visited by Jesus while he was still a young man. In this depiction, the Sibyl, with her long flowing hair and draped in traditional robes, gazes intently into the flames of a burning pyre, seeking divine guidance. Jesus, dressed in simple robes and with an expression of quiet determination, stands before her, holding a scroll. The inscription at the base of the image reads, "Cumaean Sibyl foretells the coming of Jesus," highlighting the significance of this encounter in Christian history. The early Christians sought to establish a connection between their faith and the ancient world, and the image of the Sibyl foretelling the coming of Jesus was a powerful way to do so. The paranormal elements of this image, such as the Sibyl's ability to receive divine inspiration through the flames, were common in the ancient world and reflect the belief in the supernatural powers of the divine. The use of the Cumaean Sibyl as a prophetess who foretold the coming of Jesus also speaks to the enduring power of oracles and prophecies in ancient cultures. This image, dating back to the early Christian period (BC), is a fascinating glimpse into the ways in which the early Christians sought to establish a connection between their faith and the ancient world. It is a reminder of the rich and complex history of religious beliefs and practices that have shaped human civilization over the centuries.
