EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Clock Tower of Saint Photinie, a historic landmark in Izmir, Turkey, formerly known as Smyrna. The tower is an integral part of the Church of Saint Photinie, which was built in the late 19th century during the Ottoman Empire. Saint Photinie, also known as the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, is a significant figure in Christian tradition. According to the Gospel of John (Chapter IV), she was the woman with whom Jesus had a profound conversation about living water, leading her to become a disciple. Saint Photinie's name means 'light,' symbolizing the enlightenment she received from Jesus Christ. The martyred Saint Photinie is believed to have been executed during the reign of the Roman Emperor Nero. The church and clock tower were built in her honor, serving as a testament to her enduring faith and legacy. The clock tower, with its intricate design and ornate details, stands tall against the backdrop of Izmir's bustling cityscape. This photograph, taken in 1908, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the Ottoman Empire ruled over this vibrant port city. The image showcases the architectural beauty and rich history of Izmir, making it a must-see destination for history buffs and travelers alike. The clock tower of Saint Photinie remains an essential part of the city's cultural heritage, a reminder of the faith, resilience, and diversity that have shaped Izmir throughout the centuries.
