EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on August 4,1942, we are transported back in time to witness an unusual sight - two nuns diligently harvesting oats in the fields of Lemont, Illinois. The image captures a moment of both historic significance and religious devotion. As we gaze upon the monochromatic scene, our eyes are drawn to the two women dressed in traditional habits. With scythe and rake in hand, they navigate their way through the vast oat fields of Mount Asissi Convent's 100-acre farm. Their determined expressions reflect a deep sense of purpose as they engage in manual labor during this grain harvest. The photograph not only showcases the hard work involved in farming but also highlights the intersection between religion and agriculture. These dedicated Catholic nuns embody a unique blend of faith and physical labor as they contribute to their community's sustenance. The vintage quality adds an extra layer of nostalgia to this remarkable snapshot from the forties. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when people relied heavily on manual tools for agricultural tasks. This powerful image captured by Underwood Archives is a testament to human resilience, dedication, and unwavering commitment to both God and land. It stands as a timeless tribute to these two Caucasian nuns who selflessly embraced their role as stewards of nature while tending to their spiritual calling amidst the bountiful oat fields under the warm daylight sky.
