EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a magnificent mosaic depicting the historic event of Mattathias revolt against the Syrian Greeks. Created by the Italian School in the 12th century, this artwork can be found in Abbazia di San Colombano, Bobbio, Piacenza, Italy. Mattathias ben Johanan was a revered Jewish priest who played a pivotal role in leading the Jewish revolt against the oppressive Syrian Greeks. The Books of Maccabees chronicle his heroic actions during this period. This rebellion holds significant importance and is commemorated during Hanukkah celebrations. In this mosaic, we witness soldiers and warriors standing alongside Mattathias as they fight for their independence and religious freedom. The scene showcases their determination and unwavering spirit to protect their faith from Greek influence. Located in Modiin near Jerusalem, this town became a symbol of resistance against foreign rule. Mattathias' leadership united Jews from all walks of life - priests, clergyman, and ordinary citizens - to stand together for their beliefs. This extraordinary artwork not only portrays an important historical event but also serves as a testament to the resilience and strength of Judaism throughout centuries. It reminds us of our shared history and inspires us to continue fighting for justice and religious tolerance today.
