EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the exterior of St. George Church, a remarkable monolithic edifice located in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Dating back to the 13th century, this architectural marvel is a significant site in the Amhara region of Ethiopia and a testament to the rich history and deep religious traditions of the Coptic Orthodox faith. Carved directly out of a single piece of red volcanic rock, the church is a masterpiece of engineering and artistic expression. The intricately designed facade features a large cross, symbolizing the Christian faith, and a set of solid stairs leading up to the entrance. The church is believed to have been built during the reign of King Lalibela, who is said to have ordered the construction of 11 monolithic churches in the town as a means of creating a 'New Jerusalem' in Ethiopia. The photograph captures a group of Coptic pilgrims making their way up the stairs, their faces filled with reverence and awe as they approach this historical and spiritual landmark. The pilgrims, dressed in traditional clothing, add a sense of authenticity and connection to the image, highlighting the enduring significance of St. George Church as a place of worship and pilgrimage. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, St. George Church is a must-see destination for anyone interested in history, religion, and the wonders of human creativity and ingenuity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when faith and artistry were intertwined in the creation of breathtaking structures that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
