“The curse of the world and the root of all evil is ignorance. The curse of man is his ignorance of his higher nature and final destiny, and the efforts of a true system of religion and science ought to be above all to remove this stupidity.”

The image depicts a historic stone structure with multiple levels, featuring arches and arched windows. The architecture suggests it could be of historical or religious significance, possibly an old monastery or church building. There are several steps leading up to the main entrance, which is partially obscured by greenery. To the left side, there's a person in dark clothing standing at the top of the stairs, seemingly observing something below. At various levels along the path and structure, potted plants with spherical tops can be seen.

A group of people sits on steps near the bottom right corner, while others appear to be walking or sitting further back within the complex. The sky is overcast, giving a muted tone to the overall scene in this black-and-white photograph. There's no direct indication of modern technology such as cars, but it seems like an older setting based on attire and architecture style.

Information about traditional places of retirement for Zacharia suggests that the site might be associated with religious or historical significance related to early Christian monastic life.

Remains of the Jetavana monastery, Sāvatthī, India. The Jetavana monastery was one of the most important monastic complexes in early Buddhism, founded by the wealthy merchant Anāthapiṇḍika. It became a major center for the Siddhartha’s teachings and a model for later monastic establishments. The site is known for its large stūpa, monastic cells, and assembly halls, reflecting the architectural evolution of Buddhist monasteries. The monastery played a crucial role in the development of monastic life and community organization in early Buddhism. Source: Wikimedia Commonsꜛ (license: CC BY-SA 2.0)

Fotografia a preto e branco de uma charanga a cavalo da Guarda Nacional Republicana, passando pelo Mosteiro dos Jerónimos a caminho do Palácio Nacional de Belém para participar na cerimónia de Rendição Solene da Guarda. Os membros que seguem na dianteira montam cavalos brancos, enquanto os restantes seguem em cavalos de pêlo castanho escuro. O mosteiro, no plano de fundo, reflecte também este constraste, visto que uma da secções havia sido recentemente limpa, destacando-se pela sua brancura.
