EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when the first Christians gathered in the catacombs of ancient Rome to share in the Agape, or Love feast. These meals were a commemoration of the Last Supper (Cene), during which they shared the "kiss of peace" as a symbol of Christian fraternity. The image depicts a scene filled with warmth and camaraderie, as believers come together to break bread and celebrate their faith. The intricate details captured by the engraving from ""Picturesque History of Religions"" by Clavel in 1844 transport us back to a time when these gatherings were essential for fostering unity and solidarity among early Christians. As we gaze upon this piece of art, we are reminded of the importance of coming together as a community to share love and fellowship. The Agape served not only as a meal but also as a spiritual practice that reinforced bonds between believers and honored their shared beliefs. Through this photo print, we are invited to reflect on our own traditions of communal dining and consider how we can incorporate elements of lovefeasts into our modern-day celebrations. It is a powerful reminder that breaking bread together has always been at the heart of building connections and spreading love among humanity.
