EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the moment when Hugh Latimer, Bishop of Worcester, was miraculously saved from a falling tree by an act of God. The image freezes time as we witness the divine intervention that spared his life on that fateful day.
However, despite this miraculous rescue, Hugh Latimer's fate would ultimately be sealed by the hand of man for holding what were considered to be controversial religious views during his time. His unwavering beliefs and outspoken nature led to his tragic demise, highlighting the harsh realities faced by those who dared to challenge the status quo in matters of faith.
The juxtaposition of divine protection and human persecution depicted in this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and dangers inherent in standing up for one's convictions. It is a testament to Hugh Latimer's courage and steadfastness in the face of adversity, even as he ultimately paid the ultimate price for his beliefs.
As we gaze upon this haunting image, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of the human spirit when faced with forces beyond our control. Hugh Latimer's story continues to resonate through history as a symbol of sacrifice and defiance in pursuit of truth.
