EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling Straight Street in Damascus, Syria, in 1933. The historic street, known as Sharia al-Straight in Arabic, holds significant religious and historical importance, as it is where, according to the New Testament of the Bible, St. Paul (then known as Saul) was cared for by Judas after his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus in the year 36 AD (Acts 9:11, 11:25-26). In this image, horses and their riders can be seen making their way along the cobblestone street, their hooves clattering against the stones as they navigate the narrow passage. The horses' coats glisten in the sunlight, and their riders appear focused and determined as they make their way through the bustling crowd. The street itself is a vibrant and lively scene, with people of all ages and backgrounds going about their daily business. Clothes hang out to dry from the windows and balconies of the buildings that line the street, while merchants display their wares on the sidewalks. The atmosphere is one of energy and activity, a testament to the rich history and vibrant culture of Damascus. Despite the passage of time and the many changes that have taken place in the world since the events described in the Bible, Straight Street in Damascus remains a powerful symbol of the enduring significance of religious and historical sites. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horses and carriages were the primary mode of transportation and the bustling streets of Damascus were a hub of activity and commerce.
