EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless scene of a shepherd tending to his flock of sheep near the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem during the 1920s. The Garden of Gethsemane, located at the foot of the Mount of Olives, holds deep historical significance for Christians as the site where Jesus is believed to have prayed before his crucifixion. The shepherd, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern garb, leans against the railings of the garden, his eyes fixed on his animals as they graze peacefully on the hillside. The scene is reminiscent of biblical imagery, with the shepherd representing Christ and the sheep symbolizing his followers. The rugged terrain and ancient city walls in the background add to the sense of history and tradition. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when the daily rhythms of life were closely tied to the land and its natural resources. The shepherd and his flock, nestled amidst the rolling hills and ancient ruins of Jerusalem, serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring connection between people and the land in the Middle East.
