EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Andrew McConnell/ Robert Harding, we are transported to the ancient rock-hewn church of Bet Giyorgis (St. George) in Lalibela, Ethiopia. The image captures a momentous Sunday Mass being celebrated at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The scene is filled with devout worshippers who have gathered outside the church, sitting and patiently awaiting the start of the religious ceremony. Men and women of all ages can be seen, their faces reflecting deep faith and spiritualism. The remarkable stone work of this historical landmark stands tall behind them, showcasing an extraordinary example of ancient civilization and Ethiopian heritage. The intricate architecture and vibrant colors add to the ethereal atmosphere surrounding this sacred place. As we observe from a high angle view, it becomes evident that this remote location holds great significance for those on a pilgrimage or seeking solace in seclusion. The crucifix prominently displayed reminds us of the strong Christian roots embedded within African culture. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of religion and its ability to bring people together across generations and continents. It invites us to contemplate our own spirituality while appreciating the rich history that surrounds us in every corner of our world.
