EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the Church of the Dormition of the Holy Virgin (Kisha e Shen Marise), a historic Orthodox Christian temple nestled in the heart of Moscopole, Albania. Dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, this architectural masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The church, with its intricately designed stone walls and bell tower, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery, the tree-lined landscape providing a striking contrast to the closed door and the modern age. Moscopole, located in the Korce district of southeastern Albania, was once a thriving center of Aromanian civilization, a community of people with strong cultural ties to the Romanian and Greek worlds. The Orthodox faith has deep roots in this region, and the Church of the Dormition of the Holy Virgin is a cherished symbol of the community's religious and historical legacy. The bell tower, with its distinctive onion-shaped dome, is a distinctive feature of the church's silhouette and has long served as a beacon for the faithful. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, to an era when European history was being written, and the Church of the Dormition of the Holy Virgin in Moscopole stood as a proud testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of the people who built it. This image is a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the role that historic sites like this play in shaping our collective memory and identity.
