EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the mystical world of Lalibela in Ethiopia. The image captures a mesmerizing scene inside the Bet Medhane Alem rock church during a midnight Easter mass. Christian Orthodox faithfuls gather together, their faces illuminated by candlelight as they partake in this sacred ceremony. The significance of this ancient place of worship is deeply rooted in legend and faith. According to local lore, King Lalibela was divinely inspired to construct this church and several others like it in the 11th and 12th century. It is believed that angels assisted him in his divine mission to create a new Jerusalem within Ethiopian borders. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel the spiritual energy emanating from these hallowed grounds. The devotion etched on each face tells a story of unwavering belief and reverence for their religious heritage. This snapshot not only encapsulates an important moment during Easter celebrations but also serves as a reminder of Ethiopia's rich cultural tapestry and its deep connection with spirituality. It transports us back through centuries, allowing us to witness firsthand the timeless traditions that continue to shape communities today. Through the lens of Reuters photographer Flora Bagenal, we are granted access into a world where religion intertwines with history, legends merge with reality, and faith illuminates even the darkest corners.
