Canonised Crowds Gather Lisieux Peter Therese 1925 Canonisation
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a sea of people is seen gathered before the magnificent St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Italy, on October 17, 1925. The historic occasion marks the canonization of Therese Martin, better known as Therese of Lisieux, or "The Little Flower." Therese, a French Carmelite nun, lived from 1873 to 1897. She was renowned for her profound faith, childlike devotion to the Virgin Mary, and her "Little Way" of spiritual childhood, which emphasized the importance of small acts of love and self-giving in daily life. Her life story, as well as her writings, inspired countless people around the world. The photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd as they await the formal proclamation of Therese's sainthood by Pope Pius XI. The scene is filled with a sense of history in the making, as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate the life and legacy of this extraordinary woman. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the ability of a single life to touch and inspire countless others. The image of Therese, dressed in her Carmelite habit, is often depicted with roses, symbolizing her deep connection to God and her love for the Virgin Mary. The roses also serve as a reminder of the "Little Way," which encourages believers to find holiness in the everyday moments of their lives. As the crowd gathers before St. Peter's Square, they are united in their faith and their admiration for Therese. The photograph captures a moment in history, a moment of spiritual and emotional connection, and a testament to the enduring power of faith and the human spirit.
