In this photograph taken in 1922, we witness a remarkable meeting between Mirdite mountaineers and their town kinsmen outside a Scutari cathedral in Turkey. The image, featured in the renowned publication "Peoples of All Nations" offers us a glimpse into the lives of these Albanian communities during the early 20th century. The composition is filled with an air of anticipation as men from both groups stand together, united by their shared heritage and religious beliefs. Their direct gazes convey a sense of pride and determination, reflecting the resilience that defined their existence amidst turbulent times. The backdrop of the magnificent Scutari cathedral adds an element of solemnity to the scene. Its towering presence serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith within these communities. As Christianity played a significant role in shaping their identity, this gathering holds profound significance for all those involved.

This meeting symbolizes not only unity among fellow countrymen but also represents a larger narrative about Albania's rich history and its people's unwavering commitment to preserving their customs.

It stands as a testament to our collective human experience and reminds us that even
