EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting, created by Johann Martin Bernatz in 1842, captures the annual Christian procession of clergy from the church at Ankobar, Ethiopia. The image transports us back in time to the Victorian era and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of Ethiopian Christianity. The procession is depicted as a vibrant and colorful spectacle, with a large group of clergy members dressed in their ceremonial robes and headdresses, leading the way. The clergy are surrounded by a crowd of faithful followers, all dressed in their Sunday best, who have come to pay homage to their spiritual leaders. The painting also showcases the beautiful architecture of the Ankobar church, which is adorned with intricate carvings and brightly colored decorations. The church, which is perched atop a hill overlooking the lush Ethiopian landscape, is a testament to the deep-rooted faith and resilience of the Ethiopian people. Bernatz's use of watercolor perfectly captures the vibrancy and richness of the scene, with the bright colors of the robes and decorations contrasting against the muted greens and browns of the landscape. The painting is a beautiful and evocative reminder of the enduring power of faith and the unique cultural traditions that continue to thrive in Ethiopia today.
