EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the revered figure of Abuna Basilios, the Patriarch of Addis Ababa and Archbishop of the Christian Church of Ethiopia in East Africa, during the 1920s. Dressed in full regalia, the patriarch sits before an impressive collection of books, symbolizing his deep knowledge and commitment to the religious teachings of his people. The intricate details of his costume, including the cross adorned with precious stones and the long, flowing robe, add to the sense of grandeur and spiritual significance. The patriarch's beard, a common sign of wisdom and holiness in many religious traditions, frames his face, which bears an expression of serene contemplation. The racial and ethnic diversity of the people in the background, dressed in various African attire, underscores the rich cultural tapestry of Ethiopia during this time. The photograph, taken in 1922, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was undergoing significant changes. Despite the challenges and complexities of the 1920s, the patriarch's unwavering faith and dedication to his community serve as a reminder of the enduring power of religion and the importance of spiritual leadership. This image is an invaluable historical document, offering insights into the religious and cultural practices of Ethiopia during the early 20th century. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of the people of Ethiopia, who have maintained their unique identity and traditions despite the many external influences that have shaped their history.
