EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a precious moment in the lives of a Nestorian (Assyrian) Christian family as they engage in the traditional practice of making butter. The image, taken by George Grantham Bain, showcases the rich cultural heritage and religious practices of this ancient community. In the heartwarming scene, we see multiple generations coming together to churn butter using age-old techniques. The family members are dressed in their distinctive East Syriac attire, reflecting their deep connection to their Assyrian roots. Their solemn expressions reveal a sense of devotion and reverence towards their faith. The significance of this snapshot extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it offers us a glimpse into the daily rituals that have been passed down through generations within the Assyrian Church of the East. Nestorianism, an Eastern Christian denomination with historical ties to Persia (modern-day Iran), is beautifully represented here. Through Bain's lens, we witness not only an intimate family gathering but also an exploration of religion and tradition. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and culture amidst changing times. As we observe this remarkable print from our private collection, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back in time while reminding us of the importance of preserving our unique customs for future generations.
