EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Ruins of a temple formerly devoted to human sacrifices" takes us back in time to the 19th century. The image showcases the remnants of a once sacred place where unimaginable rituals took place - human sacrifices offered in devotion. The English School artist skillfully captures the haunting beauty of these ruins, evoking a sense of mystery and awe. It is an illustration from Edwin Hodder's book, "Conquests of the Cross" which chronicles missionary work worldwide. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the immense power that religion holds over people's lives. This particular temple stood as a testament to Christian missionaries' efforts to bring their faith to distant lands like Hawaii. The juxtaposition between Christianity and the ancient Hawaiian deity Pele is striking. It highlights how different belief systems clashed during this era, leaving behind traces of both destruction and transformation. In contemplating this artwork, one cannot help but reflect on the complexities inherent in religious practices throughout history. It serves as a reminder that our understanding and interpretation of spirituality have evolved over time. This engraving invites us to ponder not only our own beliefs but also how they shape societies and cultures around us. It reminds us that even amidst ruins, there is always potential for growth and change – an enduring testament to humanity's resilience.
