Thousands of devotees have walked the road that leads to a sanctuary, dedicating themselves to very hard penances, some have climbed the mountain on all fours, others carrying stones on their backs, or heavy weights, or chains to the neck. The climb is long and very hard because the sanctuary is a thousand meters high and many pilgrims are old and sick. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 18 October 1936.); © Look and Learn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a strange pilgrimage that took place in the mountains west of Beijing, China. The image, created by Achille Beltrame in 1936, showcases thousands of devoted individuals walking the arduous road leading to a sanctuary nestled a thousand meters high. These pilgrims dedicated themselves to rigorous penances as they made their way up the mountain. The photograph portrays men and women from all walks of life, including peasants and families with children. Despite facing sickness and old age, these determined marchers carried heavy loads on their backs or wore chains around their necks during the challenging climb. Some even resorted to crawling on all fours along the rocky terrain. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday provides a glimpse into this remarkable journey that unfolded against the backdrop of China's rural landscape. It highlights not only the physical difficulties faced by these pilgrims but also their unwavering faith and commitment. The image serves as a testament to human resilience and devotion, capturing both the hardships endured by these individuals and their unyielding determination to reach their sacred destination. Through this photograph, viewers are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary event that unfolded amidst China's majestic mountains.
