EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Free Church Communion at Strome Ferry, Scottish Highlands" takes us back to a significant event in the 19th century. The scene depicts the aftermath of the Sunday Riots that occurred the previous year. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when religion played a central role in Scottish society. The image showcases an expansive sea of umbrellas, shielding congregants from both rain and sun as they gather for the holy sacrament. A minister stands tall amidst the crowd, dispensing words of moist discourse and carrying out his sacred duties. Despite facing numerous difficulties in organizing such an event in the remote Scottish Highlands, these devoted individuals have come together to partake in this solemn ceremony. Intriguingly, boxes can be seen scattered throughout the scene - perhaps used for collecting offerings or distributing elements of communion. This visual detail adds depth to our understanding of religious practices during that era. Through this engraving by English School artists, we catch a glimpse into Scotland's rich religious heritage and its enduring commitment to faith even amidst societal challenges. It serves as a reminder that communal worship has always been integral to people's lives across different cultures and times.
