EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, two nuns are seen engrossed in a conversation on the cobblestone streets of Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, during the 1980s. The ancient city, with its red-tiled roofs and fortified walls, serves as a picturesque backdrop to their peaceful interaction. One of the nuns carries a large bunch of red lilies, adding a pop of color to the monochrome scene. Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was a popular destination even in the 1980s, attracting travelers from around the world. The nuns, likely members of a local religious order, take a brief respite from their daily duties to enjoy the sunshine and each other's company amidst the bustling cityscape. The lilies, a symbol of purity and the Virgin Mary, may have been a gift or perhaps intended for a religious ceremony. The photograph captures a moment of tranquility and connection amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and culture of Dubrovnik and the enduring presence of faith in the lives of its people. The image, taken in 1985, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the timeless nature of human connection and the beauty of the world around us.
