EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, 1865" transports us back in time to Jerusalem during the late 19th century. Captured by Sgt. James McDonald, a British soldier who served between 1864 and 1868, this image offers a glimpse into the rich religious history of the Middle East. The scene depicts an exterior view of the iconic Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a place revered by Christians worldwide as it is believed to house both Golgotha (the hill where Jesus was crucified) and his empty tomb. The intricate arches and grand doorway create an imposing entrance that beckons visitors from all corners of the globe. Intriguingly, amidst this sacred setting are vendors and sellers bustling about their daily lives. This juxtaposition highlights how religion intertwines with everyday street life in Jerusalem even today. It serves as a reminder that faith can coexist harmoniously with commerce. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported not only to another era but also to a place steeped in spirituality and reverence. Through Sgt. James McDonald's lens, we witness a moment frozen in time at one of Christianity's most significant sites – an enduring testament to human devotion spanning centuries.
