EDITORS COMMENTS
Sunday at Church in Antsiranana, Madagascar: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the essence of a European Sunday church service in Antsiranana, also known as Diego-Suarez, Madagascar, around the turn of the 20th century. The image is filled with a sense of tranquility and devotion as the European attendees, dressed in their finest white attire, gather together for mass. The women, adorned in elegant hats and dresses, display an air of refinement and piety, while the men, in suits and ties, exude a sense of solemnity and reverence. The church, with its tall, arched windows and intricate stonework, stands as a symbol of the enduring influence of Christianity in Madagascar. The presence of the French flag, which flies proudly outside the church, serves as a reminder of the country's colonial past. The scene is further enriched by the addition of rickshaws and pousses (bicycle taxis) parked outside the church. These modes of transportation were a common sight in Madagascar during this period, providing a practical means of transportation for the European community and the local population. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of Europeans living in Madagascar during a time of cultural and religious fusion. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring power of faith and the importance of community, even as the world around us continues to change.
