EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during a Military Field Mass led by the Holy Name Society of the Roman Catholic Church in 1910. President William Howard Taft, dressed in a suit and overcoat, stands among the congregation with his back to the camera, deep in thought. Archibald Butt, a close friend and military aide to Taft, is seen in the foreground, his gaze fixed on the altar. The Holy Name Society, also known as the Confraternity of the Most Holy Name of God and Jesus, was a Catholic lay organization dedicated to the promotion of devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus. The mass was likely held outdoors, as indicated by the tents and flags in the background. The image, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures the solemnity and unity of the congregation during this religious gathering. The photograph is a testament to the deep faith and devotion of the participants, and the enduring role of religion in American life during the early 20th century.
