EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at The Kirk at Braddan, located on the western outskirts of Douglas on the Isle of Man, during a Sunday service in the 1910s. The Kirk at Braddan, also known as Braddan Parish Church, is a historic place of worship with a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The church is situated near Braddan Bridge, which spans the River Douglas and marks the boundary between the parishes of Braddan and Douglas. The photograph shows a large congregation gathered outside the church, dressed in their Sunday best, as they listen intently to the sermon being delivered. The men wear hats and suits, while the women wear long dresses and bonnets. The children, dressed in their Sunday clothes, play and explore the area around the church, adding a sense of energy and vitality to the scene. The symbol of the Manx cross, which is the emblem of the Isle of Man, can be seen on the church wall, proudly displaying the three legs representing the trinity and the intertwined rings symbolizing the unity of the Manx people. The bridge in the background adds to the picturesque setting, with its arches framing the scene and the water of the River Douglas gently flowing beneath. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the people of the Isle of Man during the 1910s and the importance of religion in their community. The scene is a reminder of the enduring tradition of Sunday services and the sense of connection and unity that they bring to people, even in the face of changing times.
