EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Saint Blaise: Guardian of Dubrovnik at the Pile Gate" This evocative image captures the timeless beauty and rich history of the Saint Blaise statue, a cherished symbol of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Located at the Pile Gate, the medieval entrance to the Old Town, the statue stands as a testament to the city's deep-rooted religious and cultural heritage. The Saint Blaise statue, carved from stone, depicts the patron saint of Dubrovnik, dressed in episcopal vestments and holding a model of the city in his left hand, while blessing it with his right. The intricate details of the statue's face, robe, and the city model reveal the masterful craftsmanship of the contemporary artist who brought this religious icon to life. Saint Blaise, a bishop and healer, is believed to have lived during the 4th century in Armenia. He is celebrated for his miraculous intervention in saving a child from choking on a fishbone. Dubrovnik's citizens adopted him as their protector after an epidemic of choking was believed to have been halted by his intercession. The statue's placement at the Pile Gate is significant, as it serves as a welcoming figure for visitors entering the Old Town. It also symbolizes the connection between the city's past and present, as Saint Blaise continues to watch over Dubrovnik and its people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the historical and contemporary significance of the Saint Blaise statue in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring power of art and religion in shaping the identity of a city and its people.
