EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Tomb of Rachel, a significant site in the history and religion of the Middle East, located in the West Bank city of Bethlehem, Palestine. Dating back to approximately 1890, the image offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the ancient structure as it appeared over a century ago. The Tomb of Rachel is believed to be the burial place of the matriarch Rachel, the wife of Jacob and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin, as mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition, Rachel was buried on the road to Ephrath (Bethlehem) as she was on her way to the city to give birth to Benjamin. The site holds great significance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and has been a pilgrimage destination for centuries. The photograph showcases the intricate stonework and the serene atmosphere of the site, with the arid landscape and barren trees in the background adding to the sense of timelessness and reverence. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history and cultural heritage of this region, and the enduring connection that people have to the places that hold deep spiritual meaning for them.
