EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Philippe Lissac, we are transported to the magnificent Saint Peters & Saint Pauls cathedral in Poitiers. The image showcases a mesmerizing array of gargoyles that adorn the exterior of this iconic Christian landmark. As sunlight gently illuminates their intricate details, one cannot help but marvel at the craftsmanship and architectural brilliance on display. These stone creatures, with their grotesque yet fascinating features, have long been an integral part of European cathedrals like this one. They serve as symbolic guardians, warding off evil spirits and protecting the sacred space within. Standing tall against a clear blue sky, they evoke a sense of spiritual awe and wonder. This photograph not only captures the beauty of these religious sculptures but also invites contemplation about faith and spirituality. It reminds us of Christianity's rich history and its enduring presence in our lives today. The juxtaposition between ancient architecture and nature's serene backdrop creates a harmonious blend that speaks to both tradition and timelessness. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that religion is more than just bricks and mortar; it represents our collective beliefs, hopes, and aspirations. It serves as a reminder to embrace our own spirituality while appreciating the diverse expressions of faith found across Europe. Philippe Lissac's masterful composition transports us into a world where artistry meets devotion—a visual testament to humanity's unwavering quest for something greater than ourselves.
