EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intricate details of the Cross of Portugal in Silves, a historical town located in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. Carved from limestone, this ornate religious artifact is believed to date back to the 15th century and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Portugal. The cross, which is a declared national monument since 1910, stands as a symbol of the deep-rooted religious traditions that have shaped the Portuguese identity throughout history. The image depicts several men, dressed in traditional attire, kneeling and praying before the cross, adding to the solemn and reverent atmosphere. The Roman Catholic faith has played a significant role in Portuguese society, and this cross, with its intricate carvings and ornate design, is a reminder of the enduring influence of religion in Portuguese life. The photograph, taken around 1908, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the history and traditions that continue to shape Portugal and its people.
