EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Thierry BrAFA from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported to the ancient town of Lalibela in Ethiopia. The image captures a group of pilgrims gathered outside the magnificent St Georges church, their faces filled with devotion and awe. Lalibela is renowned for its rock-hewn churches, which are considered sacred sites for both Ethiopian Orthodox Christians and Coptic Christians. This particular church, dedicated to St Georges, stands as a testament to the rich spiritual heritage of Africa. The architecture of St Georges church is truly remarkable; carved entirely out of solid rock, it showcases intricate details and stunning craftsmanship that have stood the test of time. Its grandeur serves as a beacon for believers who come from far and wide seeking solace and divine connection. As we observe these faithful individuals congregating outside the church, their presence exudes an undeniable sense of faith and spirituality. Their colorful attire adds vibrancy against the backdrop of Lalibela's rugged landscape. This image not only encapsulates religious devotion but also highlights the cultural significance that Christianity holds in Ethiopia. It reminds us that faith knows no boundaries or limitations; rather, it unifies people from different walks of life under one shared belief system. Thierry BrAFA has masterfully captured this moment frozen in time – a snapshot into African spirituality where religion intertwines with daily life amidst breathtaking architectural wonders like St Georges church in Lalibela.
