Baptism Child Christian Coptic Egypt Middle East Orthodox Orthodox Church
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Philippe Lissac, we witness a deeply significant moment of faith and devotion. The image showcases a baptised baby in the Abbassiya Coptic Church, located in Egypt's spiritual heartland. As the child is cradled lovingly in the arms of an adult woman, their faces are filled with reverence and awe. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and spirituality that transcends cultural boundaries. It serves as a powerful reminder of the universal nature of faith and its ability to bring people together from all walks of life. The rich symbolism behind baptism is evident here; it represents not only an initiation into Christianity but also a profound commitment to one's religious beliefs. The vibrant colors adorning the church walls create an atmosphere brimming with energy and vitality, mirroring the fervor felt within those who gather there for worship. This Orthodox Church stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions upheld by Coptic Christians in Egypt. Through this poignant snapshot, Lissac captures not just an individual moment but also encapsulates the essence of religion itself – its capacity to inspire hope, foster community bonds, and provide solace during challenging times. It reminds us that amidst our diverse backgrounds and experiences, spirituality remains an integral part of human existence across cultures worldwide.
