EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a moment of intense devotion and pain as Aissaouas, Moslem fanatics in the holy city of Kairouan, Tunisia, inflict fearful mutilations on their own bodies. The year is 1880, and these followers seem to feel no pain as they alter their physical forms in a display of religious fervor.
The historical significance of this scene is palpable, showcasing a practice that dates back centuries in Islamic tradition. The city of Kairouan holds deep spiritual importance for Muslims around the world, making it a fitting backdrop for such an intense ritual.
What makes this photo even more intriguing is the apparent lack of anesthesia or numbing agents used during these mutilations. It's almost as if these devotees have transcended the physical realm and are operating on a higher plane of existence where pain does not register.
As we gaze upon this eerie snapshot from circa 1880, we are reminded of the power that faith can hold over individuals and communities. The paranormal aura surrounding this image leaves us with more questions than answers about the nature of devotion and sacrifice.
