EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the ancient beauty and rich history of Jerusalem's Lions Gate, a historic entrance to the Old City. Dating back to the 16th century, during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the gate is adorned with intricate stonework and crenelated battlements. The name "Lions Gate" comes from the pair of stone lions that once flanked the entrance, although they have since been removed. The gate is also known as Shaar Harayatim or Bab al-Asbat, meaning "Gate of the Tribes" or "Gate of the Leopards," respectively. The Old City Walls, which enclose the historic core of Jerusalem, are a testament to the city's long and complex history. The walls, built in the 15th and 16th centuries, have been the site of numerous battles and sieges throughout the centuries. Today, they are a popular tourist destination and a symbol of the city's resilience and enduring spirit. The scene depicted in this photograph shows a bustling street lined with people and shops, with the gate's intricate detailing and crenelated walls providing a striking backdrop. The image also features a group of sheep being led through the gate, adding to the sense of life and activity within the Old City. The Lions Gate is a significant religious site as well, with St. Stephen's Gate, also known as the "Porta Sancta," located nearby. According to tradition, St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, was stoned to death at this spot. The gate is a popular pilgrimage site for Christians, and the image of St. Stephen can be seen on the gate's exterior. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of Jerusalem, a city that has been a focal point of human history for thousands of years.
