EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Verna (Casentino). Franciscan convent. Procession of the Stigmata" transports us back in time to the early 20th century. Taken around 1915, this image captures a solemn moment within the walls of the Franciscan convent in Verna, Casentino. The focal point of this print is undoubtedly the procession itself. A group of devout individuals can be seen marching through an open gallery adorned with intricate architectural details and religious decorations. The participants are dressed in traditional habits, their attire symbolizing their commitment to their Christian faith. Amongst them stands a friar, his presence commanding attention as he leads the way with grace and reverence. His clothing reflects both simplicity and humility, characteristics deeply ingrained in Franciscan tradition. As we delve deeper into this scene, it becomes apparent that this procession holds great significance for those involved. It is a powerful display of devotion and piety towards St. Francis of Assisi's stigmata – wounds resembling those suffered by Christ during his crucifixion. The atmosphere captured by Alinari's lens exudes spirituality and tranquility; one can almost feel the weighty silence permeating through every corner of this sacred space. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also offers us a glimpse into an era when religious processions held immense importance within Catholicism. It reminds us of our shared human desire for connection with something greater than ourselves – a yearning that has transcended time throughout history. Alinari's skillful composition allows us to witness this poignant moment frozen in time while inviting contemplation on themes such as faith, ritual, and devotion that continue to resonate today.
