1887 B Alls Cheeky Cloak Habit Monastery Monastic Monk Monks Order Passers Snowballs Step Throw Throwing Tunic Unsuspecting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph, captured in the late 1880s in France, depicts a playful moment between a group of monks from a monastic order, as they step out of their monastery walls and engage in a snowball fight with unsuspecting passers-by. Dressed in their traditional tunics and cloaks, these monks, with their mischievous grins and lighthearted expressions, seem to momentarily forget their religious duties and embrace the childlike joy of throwing snowballs. The historical significance of this image lies in its portrayal of the human side of monastic life, which is often perceived as rigid and unchanging. It serves as a reminder that even in the most austere and sacred of environments, people find joy and connection with one another. The snow-covered landscape and the playful antics of the monks transport us back in time to the 1880s, offering a glimpse into the past and inviting us to reflect on the enduring human desire for connection and playfulness, even in the most unexpected of places.
