EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the stained glass windows of the Church of St Germain in Kerlaz, France. The image showcases the brave defiance of Ignace the Garrec, vicar priest in Kerlaz, and Father Maximin Chelgoualch, Capuchin, along with Alain Le Floch and other refugee priests who refused to take an oath to the civil constitution of the clergy during the French Revolution in 1793. The arresting colors and intricate details of this artwork beautifully convey their unwavering commitment to their religious beliefs despite facing arrest for their refusal. Through this photograph by Leonard de Selva, we are transported back to a time when faith clashed with political ideologies. The stained glass windows themselves serve as a powerful symbol of devotion and resilience. They stand as a testament to these courageous individuals who risked everything for what they believed in. As rays of sunlight filter through these vibrant panels, illuminating both their faces and our understanding of their sacrifice. Intriguingly captured almost 125 years after these events took place, this print not only commemorates those involved but also serves as a reminder that history is often shaped by those willing to stand up for what they believe is right – even if it means enduring personal hardships or persecution.
