EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wall painting of St Gregory, dating back to the 13th century. The artwork originates from the church of the Paniya Kera Kritsa in Crete, Greece, and is a testament to Byzantine artistry at its finest. In this depiction, St Gregory is portrayed as a distinguished male figure with a long flowing beard and an aura of divine presence. Clad in vibrant colors that have stood the test of time, he holds a sacred scroll symbolizing his role as one of Christianity's most influential saints. The artist has skillfully captured every intricate detail, from the delicate brushstrokes that form his halo to the lifelike rendering of his facial features. This wall painting serves not only as an artifact but also as a powerful religious icon for those who visit this holy place. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the devotion and reverence bestowed upon St Gregory during the thirteenth century. It stands as a testament to human creativity and spirituality throughout history. Thanks to photographers like CM Dixon and Mike Dixon who have preserved this invaluable piece through their lens, future generations can now appreciate its beauty and significance. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and honor those who came before us by safeguarding our cultural heritage for years to come.
