EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mosaic of St. Pachomius, created by the Byzantine School in the 12th century. The artwork is located in the Duomo of Monreale, Sicily, Italy, and offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of this revered saint. St. Pachomius was an influential figure in Christian history as he founded the community monasticism movement in Egypt. Known for his wisdom and spirituality, he authored the first book on monastic observance, shaping the practices followed by countless monks throughout centuries. Legend has it that St. Pachomius received divine guidance when an angel revealed to him the rules of Computus - a set of tables used during medieval times to calculate future Easter dates. This mystical encounter added another layer to his already profound spiritual journey. In this mosaic depiction, St. Pachomius stands tall with a scroll in hand, symbolizing his teachings and writings that continue to inspire believers today. His benevolent expression exudes warmth as he bestows blessings upon all who gaze upon him. The intricate details and vibrant colors captured within this image transport viewers back through time while honoring St. Pachomius' enduring impact on Christianity's development. As we admire this masterpiece from centuries past, let us reflect on how one individual's devotion can shape entire communities and leave an indelible mark on history.
