EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the Pool of Hezekiah in Jerusalem during the 1920s. Located in the ancient Gethsemane Valley, this historic site holds significant religious and historical importance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The Pool of Hezekiah, also known as the Pool of Siloam, is believed to have been built during the reign of King Hezekiah in the 8th century BCE. According to the Hebrew Bible, it was a major water reservoir that supplied water to the city of Jerusalem during times of siege. In the New Testament, it is mentioned in the story of the healing of the blind man, as recorded in the Gospel of John (9:1-7). The Pool of Hezekiah has undergone numerous restorations throughout history, with the most recent one taking place in the late 19th century. In the photograph, we can see the intricate stonework and the clear, still water reflecting the surrounding greenery and the blue sky. The pool is surrounded by lush vegetation, including palm trees and tall reeds, which add to its tranquil atmosphere. The Pool of Hezekiah is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Jerusalem, a city that has been a focal point of religious and political conflict for thousands of years. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Pool of Hezekiah was a vital source of water for the city and a place of pilgrimage for people of all faiths.
