EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time in the vibrant city of Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1916. The scene unfolds on a bustling street, where the aroma of traditional nougat wafts through the air, drawing in passersby. At the heart of the scene, an Orthodox priest, dressed in his long, flowing robes and distinctive pointed hat, sells the sweet delicacy from a tray. His expression is serious, yet warm as he engages with a Red Cross nurse, who dons a crisp white uniform and a stern yet compassionate expression. The nurse, holding a small bag, appears to be making a purchase, her eyes fixed on the priest as he skillfully cuts a piece of nougat with a large knife. The juxtaposition of these two figures, one representing the spiritual and the other the healing and nurturing aspects of society, highlights the rich cultural tapestry of Thessaloniki during this era. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of tradition, faith, and community in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki.
