A Greek patriarch entering a church is the subject here, though the record does not say which patriarch or which church, and the title comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service wrote without later verification. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century, so the image was likely made to illustrate a news story about church leadership or ceremony. Because the glass negative format was common then, the image shows the documentary style of the period, with its formal processions and crowds gathered outside sacred spaces.
