EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in Canterbury's history - the Septenary celebrations marking the arrival of the Franciscan Friars to England. Taken on 10 September 1924, this monochrome image transports us back to a pivotal time between the wars in Europe. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the procession of Franciscan Friars as they pass through the serene and enchanting Franciscan gardens. Dressed in their traditional robes, these holy men exude an aura of tranquility and devotion that is palpable even through a century-old photograph. The composition beautifully showcases both natural elements and architectural features, with lush greenery framing the path along which the friars walk. The juxtaposition of nature's serenity against man-made structures creates a harmonious atmosphere that speaks volumes about spirituality and human connection. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that this image holds great significance for Canterbury and its inhabitants. It serves as a visual testament to faith, tradition, and community coming together to honor an important milestone in religious history. Preserved by Central News, this remarkable piece from their extensive collection offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It reminds us of our shared heritage while also highlighting how photography can capture fleeting moments for generations to come.
