EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Straight Street, also known as Via Recta, in Damascus, Syria. Running east to west through the Old City, this ancient thoroughfare holds significant historical and religious importance. According to the Book of Acts in the New Testament, Straight Street is where the Apostle Paul, then known as Saul, was baptized by Ananias after his transformative encounter with Jesus (Acts 9:11). The street's name, Via Recta, translates to 'straight way' in Latin, reflecting its unwavering course through the city. Damascus, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, has a rich and complex history, with Straight Street being a testament to its ancient past. The street is lined with traditional Syrian houses, their facades adorned with intricate Arabesque designs and colorful tiles. The narrow alleyways branching off the main street reveal hidden gems, such as quaint shops, cafes, and mosques. As you stroll along Straight Street, you can almost hear the whispers of history, with tales of empires rising and falling, and the footsteps of countless travelers and pilgrims who have passed through the city over the centuries. The street's enduring charm and historical significance make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Syria and the Middle East.
