This engraving, titled "Roumanian Priests blessing with Bread and Wine the Emperor of Russia at the Ploesti Railway Station" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a scene from the Russo-Turkish War. Intriguingly, we witness Roumanian priests bestowing their blessings upon Czar Alexander II of Russia as he stands on Romanian soil. The location is none other than the bustling Ploesti Railway Station. This illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on June 23,1877. The image showcases two essential elements: bread and wine. As symbols of sustenance and spiritual nourishment, these offerings hold great significance within religious rituals such as this benediction ceremony.
