EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the solemn occasion of St. Bernard of Clairvaux and the Cistercian monks taking possession of the Abbey of Clairvaux. The image, taken from "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" by Paul Lacroix, showcases the grandeur and architectural beauty of this Gothic-Romanesque abbey located in France. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness St. Bernard, an esteemed abbot known for his piety and influence during the 12th century, surrounded by his devoted fellow monks. Their austere robes contrast with their expressions filled with reverence as they gather to bless their new home. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility as these medieval figures stand within the sacred walls that will become their sanctuary for prayer, study, and contemplation. The intricate details on every archway and column serve as a testament to both human craftsmanship and divine inspiration. As we delve into this historical moment through our gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back centuries ago when faith played an integral role in shaping society. It is a reminder that even today amidst our modern world's chaos, there is solace to be found within ancient traditions passed down through generations. This remarkable piece serves not only as a visual feast but also as a window into an era where spirituality intertwined with daily life. It invites us to reflect on our own connection to something greater than ourselves while appreciating the enduring legacy left behind
