EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of the entrance to Biet Giorgis, a rock-cut Christian church in Lalibela, Ethiopia. As one gazes down upon this UNESCO World Heritage Site, it becomes evident why it is considered a true African landmark. The exterior of Biet Giorgis stands proudly amidst its surroundings, showcasing the remarkable architecture and religious significance that define this Ethiopian treasure. The image showcases the grandeur of this outdoor place of worship from a high angle view, emphasizing its national fame as well as its importance within Christianity. Carved meticulously into solid rock, Biet Giorgis represents an extraordinary example of rock-hewn construction found in Eastern Africa. Lalibela itself is renowned for being home to several such churches carved out of volcanic tuff stone during the 12th century. These sacred structures hold immense spiritual value for Ethiopians and attract visitors from around the world who seek to witness their unique beauty firsthand. David C Poole/Robert Harding's photograph perfectly encapsulates the magnificence and historical significance embodied by Biet Giorgis. It invites viewers on a visual journey through time and culture while highlighting Ethiopia's rich architectural heritage. This stunning depiction serves as both an invitation to explore this remarkable travel destination and a testament to human ingenuity in creating places of worship that have stood strong for centuries.
