EDITORS COMMENTS
Damascus, the ancient city of Syria, is depicted in this photograph from the 1910s. The image showcases the city's magnificent ancient walls, a testament to its rich history and enduring resilience. These walls have stood the test of time, bearing witness to countless civilizations and momentous events. Damascus holds a significant place in Christian history as the city where St. Paul, then known as Saul, underwent a transformative experience. According to the New Testament, Saul was on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians when he encountered a vision of Jesus Christ, which led him to convert to Christianity. After his conversion, Saul, now Paul, was lowered down the city walls in a basket to escape the angry mob. The ancient walls of Damascus, with their intricate designs and impressive height, have protected the city for centuries. Their presence serves as a reminder of the city's storied past and its role as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. The walls also speak to the enduring spirit of the Syrian people, who have managed to preserve their heritage amidst the challenges and changes that have come their way. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the ancient walls of Damascus stood as a symbol of strength and protection. It is a powerful reminder of the city's rich history and the indomitable spirit of its people.
