EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Dorcas, the First-Century Charity Worker: A Testament to Compassion and Selfless Giving" This evocative image depicts Dorcas, a revered figure from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, engaged in her noble act of charity. Dorcas, also known as Tabitha in Greek, was a disciple renowned for her good works and almsdeeds. She is believed to have lived in the first century, in the coastal city of Joppa, during the time of the early Christian community. In this print, Dorcas is shown in the midst of her charitable endeavors, bestowing coats and garments on the deserving poor. Her selfless actions embody the spirit of compassion and generosity, making her an archetypal social worker and a beacon of hope for those in need. The image captures the tender moment as Dorcas looks into the eyes of a grateful recipient, her hands gently placing a warm garment into their outstretched hands. Dorcas' story is a testament to the power of kindness and the enduring impact of selfless giving. According to the biblical account, when Dorcas passed away, the widows she had clothed came together to mourn her loss. When the apostle Peter arrived in Joppa, he was moved by their devotion and, upon learning of Dorcas' deeds, prayed over her body. Miraculously, she was raised from the dead, further solidifying her status as a symbol of hope and renewal. This historical print invites us to reflect on the timeless importance of compassion, kindness, and selflessness, and serves as a reminder of the profound impact one person can have on the lives of others.
