EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Wedding in Lalibela" we are transported to the heart of Ethiopia, where a profound spiritual ceremony is taking place. The image showcases a very young bride, adorned in traditional attire, standing alongside her groom and surrounded by members of their community. Their faces radiate with faith and devotion as they partake in this significant moment. Lalibela, known for its ancient rock-hewn churches and deep-rooted Christian heritage, serves as the backdrop for this sacred union. The rich African culture intertwines seamlessly with the couple's Catholic beliefs, creating a unique blend of traditions that symbolize unity and love. The photograph captures not only the solemnity of the occasion but also highlights the stark contrast between youth and experience. As an adult man stands beside his child companion, it reminds us that marriage is not solely about age or physical maturity but rather about commitment and shared spirituality. Through Philippe Lissac's lens, we witness a glimpse into Ethiopian religious practices—a testament to Africa's diverse tapestry of faiths. This powerful visual narrative invites us to reflect on our own beliefs while appreciating the beauty found within different cultures around the world. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene filled with prayerful energy and symbolic gestures, we are reminded that weddings transcend borders; they are universal celebrations of love that unite communities across continents.
