EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a Christian Orthodox faithful stands in awe outside the magnificent Bet Medhane Alem rock church in Lalibela. The image captures the essence of spirituality and devotion as the individual gazes upon the architectural marvel before them. The significance of this sacred place is deeply rooted in Ethiopian history and religious beliefs. According to legend, King Lalibela received a divine order from God to construct a new Jerusalem in Ethiopia during the 11th and 12th centuries. It is said that angels assisted him in building not only Bet Medhane Alem but also other remarkable churches within Lalibela. The sheer grandeur of this ancient rock-hewn structure leaves spectators mesmerized by its intricate design and historical importance. As sunlight gently illuminates the facade, one can almost feel the presence of centuries-old prayers echoing through its walls. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of faith's enduring power and its ability to inspire awe-inspiring creations. It encapsulates both religious devotion and cultural heritage, showcasing how belief systems shape societies over time. Through Reuters' lens, we are transported to an era where legends intertwine with reality, inviting us to contemplate our own spiritual journeys while appreciating humanity's collective pursuit for transcendence.
