EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a powerful moment in history, showcasing a group of Cristeros gathered for secret devotions in 1926. Taken by Agustin Victor Casasola, this image is part of The Wind that Swept Mexico: The History of the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1942 collection. During this time, President Plutarco Elias Calles introduced punitive anti-clerical laws based on the 1917 constitution. In defiance of these laws, Catholic rebels known as Cristeros emerged and fought against religious repression. This period became known as the Cristero War or Cristiada (1926-9). In this print from the Stapleton Collection, we witness a solemn scene filled with symbolism and resistance. A priest leads the gathering while individuals kneel in prayerful devotion. Their unity is evident as they come together to practice their faith despite facing persecution. The image serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by Catholics during this tumultuous time in Central America's history. It highlights their unwavering commitment to their religion and showcases the strength found within communities when faced with adversity. Casasola's photography skillfully captures both the emotional intensity and historical significance surrounding these secret devotions. As we reflect upon this photograph, we are reminded of how religion can serve as an anchor during times of political turmoil and social unrest.
