EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th-century illustration from the Codex of Predis, housed in the Royal Library of Turin, Italy, depicts a pivotal moment in Christian faith and the Easter story. In the image, Jesus of Nazareth is shown at the Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem, a site renowned for its healing properties. According to the New Testament of the Bible, an angel would occasionally stir the waters, and the first person to enter the pool after the disturbance would be healed of their infirmity. In this scene, a crowd of sick individuals, some lying on beds or using crutches, eagerly await their chance to be healed. Among them, a man who has been paralyzed for thirty-eight years, lies on a bed, his faith in Jesus unwavering. As Jesus approaches, the angel stirs the waters, and the man, now filled with newfound hope, throws off his crutches and, with the assistance of an onlooker, takes a flying leap into the pool. This magnificent miniature, created during the Renaissance period, is a testament to the profound impact of faith and the belief in miraculous healing in the Christian tradition. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and meticulous craftsmanship of this illuminated manuscript reflect the deep spiritual significance of the Easter story and the enduring power of faith.
