EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bob Skingle showcases the remarkable craftsmanship found within St Mary's Church, located in the heart of North Bar Within, Beverley, East Riding Of Yorkshire. The intricate detail captured in this image highlights a fascinating carving that depicts a pilgrim rabbit above an archway within the church. As we delve into history, it becomes apparent that medieval churches were not only places of worship but also repositories of art and storytelling. This particular sculpture stands as a testament to the skill and creativity of craftsmen from centuries past. The delicate features etched onto the stone bring life to this whimsical creature, evoking curiosity and prompting us to wonder about its significance. The presence of a pilgrim rabbit offers intriguing insights into religious symbolism during medieval times. Rabbits were often associated with fertility and rebirth due to their prolific breeding habits. In Christian iconography, they could represent resurrection or spiritual transformation. As pilgrims embarked on arduous journeys seeking divine enlightenment or penance for their sins, these carved rabbits may have served as reminders of hope and renewal along their path. Bob Skingle's expert photography brings out every nuance in this exquisite piece of sculptural artistry. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate the dedication and talent invested by those who created such masterpieces centuries ago.
