Priests in Arabian dress. New monastery of the White Fathers at Heston, Middlesex
Priests in Arabian dress. New monastery of the White Fathers at Heston, Middlesex. The habit of the order is an Arabian dress, as the work of the White Fathers takes them all over Africa. The monastery has a collection of native African objects. The little chapel has just been completed, with a roof of Moorish design, and a garden are used by the fathers. Pictured, the White Fathers in the monastery garden. Heston, Middlesex. 24th May 1930

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1930 showcases a group of priests dressed in Arabian attire, standing in the serene garden of the newly built monastery of the White Fathers at Heston, Middlesex. The White Fathers, also known as Missionaries of Africa, don this traditional Arabian dress as their work takes them across various regions in Africa. The monastery itself is a testament to cultural diversity, housing a remarkable collection of native African objects. A recently completed chapel with an intricately designed Moorish roof adds to the architectural beauty of the establishment. The fathers find solace and inspiration within these hallowed grounds. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness these dedicated men strolling through the peaceful garden. Their robes billow gently in the breeze as they engage in deep conversations or perhaps contemplate their spiritual journey. The image captures both tranquility and purpose – a moment where faith meets nature. Preserved by Sunday Pictorial's Memory Lane Prints collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history – an era when religion and culture intertwined on foreign shores. It serves as a reminder that even amidst vast geographical distances and diverse traditions, unity can be found through shared beliefs and devotion to serving others.
