EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image, published by the Christian Mission of the White Fathers (Missions des Peres Blancs) in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the traditional agricultural practices and reverence for sacred cows in Rwanda, Africa. The photograph showcases a majestic longhorn cow, adorned with intricately designed tassels and decorations, serving as the Herd Queen. The cow's impressive horns, a symbol of strength and power, are a defining feature of the African longhorn cattle breed. The villagers in this scene pay homage to the sacred cow, recognizing its essential role in their community. The cow not only provides milk, meat, and labor but also holds cultural significance as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. The decorative tassels and ornaments on the cow's horns are believed to bring good fortune and protection. The image captures the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature in Rwanda, where the people's deep connection to their land and livestock is evident. The photograph, with its rich colors and intricate details, transports us to a time when traditions and respect for nature were deeply rooted in daily life. This postcard is an enduring testament to the unique cultural heritage of Rwanda and its people.
