EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a peaceful moment in the Christian neighborhood of Antakya, Turkey, formerly known as Antioch in Syria, along the serene banks of the Orontes River. Circa 1910, the scene shows a child and an adult engrossed in fishing, their focus undisturbed by the idyllic surroundings. The Orontes River, a lifeline for the community, meanders through the lush valley, reflecting the vibrant colors of the houses perched on the opposite bank. Antakya, nestled at the foot of the Taurus Mountains, has a rich history rooted in Christianity, dating back to the Roman and Byzantine eras. The town's Christian heritage is evident in the architectural beauty of its houses, churches, and monasteries. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the harmony between the community and the natural surroundings. The mountains in the backdrop add a sense of tranquility and majesty to the scene. The valley, dotted with greenery, provides a picturesque contrast to the rugged terrain of the mountains. The Orontes River, a vital source of life, connects the community to the outside world, making it an integral part of the region's history and culture. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Antakya and its Christian neighborhood, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The peaceful scene on the riverbank serves as a reminder of the simple joys of life and the beauty of nature that transcends time and borders.
