EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jane Sweeney showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Shrine of Hazrat Ali in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan. The shrine, constructed in 1136 under the orders of Seljuk Sultan Sanjar, stands as a testament to centuries of history and resilience. Although it endured destruction at the hands of Genghis Khan, it was rebuilt by Timurid Sultan Husain Baiqara in 1481 and has since been restored to its former glory. One cannot help but be enchanted by the ethereal presence that surrounds this sacred site. However, what truly sets this shrine apart is its association with white pigeons. Legend has it that the holiness of this place is so profound that any grey pigeon flying within its vicinity will miraculously transform into a pristine white bird within just forty days. In this photograph, we are transported to a serene moment where these magnificent creatures gracefully adorn their surroundings. Their pure white feathers contrast against the vibrant Middle Eastern backdrop, creating an enchanting visual spectacle. Jane Sweeney's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the architectural magnificence but also the spiritual significance attached to this revered location. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both Afghanistan's rich cultural heritage and mankind's enduring devotion towards places deemed sacred throughout history.
