EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a momentous scene on Easter Eve in front of the Holy Sepulchre. The image depicts the Greek Patriarch humbly washing the feet of the Twelve Oldest Greek Priests, creating a powerful visual representation of religious ceremony and devotion. The composition is rich with symbolism and significance. The act of foot-washing holds deep spiritual meaning, representing humility, service, and purification. It is a ceremonial gesture that exemplifies Christ's teachings on love and servitude. The setting itself adds to the solemnity and grandeur of the occasion. The Holy Sepulchre, one of Christianity's holiest sites located in Jerusalem, serves as a backdrop for this sacred ritual. Its architectural beauty enhances the sense of reverence surrounding this event. Haenen's lithographic technique beautifully captures intricate details such as facial expressions, flowing robes, and ornate decorations adorning both priests and patriarch. This attention to detail brings life to each figure portrayed in this historical moment. Published in 1902 by The Graphic magazine, this print offers viewers an opportunity to witness an ancient tradition celebrated within Greek Orthodox Christianity during Easter festivities. Overall, Haenen's lithograph provides us with a glimpse into a deeply meaningful religious ceremony that has been practiced for centuries. It invites contemplation on faith, humility, and communal worship while showcasing artistic skill through its meticulous execution.
