EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken pre-1900, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Damascus, Syria. The image showcases the Site of Namaan's House, an ancient monument that holds significant religious and historical significance for various faiths. Namaan, a prominent biblical figure, is known for his healing by the prophet Elisha. According to the Old Testament, Namaan, a Syrian commander, was afflicted with leprosy and sought a cure. He was eventually directed to Elisha, who instructed him to bathe in the Jordan River seven times to be cleansed. After following these instructions, Namaan was healed, and he and his household converted to Judaism. The Site of Namaan's House, located in Damascus, is believed to be the location where this miraculous event took place. In this photograph, the monument appears as a grand, ancient edifice, with a majestic lantern atop, casting an ethereal glow over the site. The intricate architectural details, reminiscent of both Victorian and Edwardian design elements, add to the monument's allure, transporting us back in time. The serene atmosphere of the Site of Namaan's House is further emphasized by the lush greenery surrounding the monument, creating a picturesque scene that speaks to the beauty and tranquility of the land. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a testament to the enduring history and cultural significance of this holy site in Damascus.
