EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the lunette on the South wall of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. The artwork, created by the Byzantine School in the 6th century, depicts an ancient biblical scene - Melchisedech offering bread at the altar. In this intricate mosaic, we witness Melchisedech, a priest and king from Genesis, presenting bread and wine to Abraham. This act holds great significance in Catholic and Christian doctrine as it foreshadows Jesus Christ's ultimate sacrifice. The location where this sacred event took place is believed to be Salem, which has been identified with Jerusalem. The level of craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Each tile meticulously placed to form vibrant colors and intricate patterns that bring life to this ancient scene. The attention to detail is evident as every fold of fabric and expression on each figure's face tells a story. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion filled with symbolism and religious importance. It serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted traditions within Christianity and offers us an opportunity for reflection on our own spiritual journey.
