EDITORS COMMENTS
Damascus: Straight (or Strait) Street - A Journey Back in Time (1880) This evocative photograph captures Straight Street in Damascus, Syria, a place steeped in history and religious significance. The image, taken in 1880, transports us back in time to an era when the ancient city was still teeming with the rich cultural heritage that has defined it for centuries. Straight Street, also known as Strait Street, is a historic thoroughfare located in the Old City of Damascus. It is believed that Saint Paul, the renowned Christian apostle, stayed on this street after his temporary blinding experience (Acts 9:8-19). The street's historical significance is further emphasized by its mention in the Bible, making it a must-visit destination for both history buffs and pilgrims. The photograph showcases the narrow, cobblestone street lined with traditional Syrian houses, their facades adorned with intricate stonework and colorful wooden balconies. The street's name is derived from its straight and uninterrupted course, which was a rarity in the labyrinthine Old City. The image also reveals a bustling market scene, with merchants displaying their wares on the street, and people going about their daily business. The vibrant colors and lively atmosphere add to the overall charm of the photograph. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and rich history of Damascus, a city that continues to captivate visitors with its unique blend of ancient and modern influences. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical sites and cultural heritage for future generations.
