In this photo print, we are transported to the serene courtyard of Bet Maryam church in Lalibela, Wollo, Ethiopia. The image captures a timeless scene of three senior women, devoted nuns, diligently sorting wheat under the warm African sun. The vibrant colors and horizontal composition draw us into their world as they sit together in deep concentration. Their weathered faces tell stories of wisdom and experience, reflecting the rich customs and religious heritage that permeate this ancient land. Lalibela is renowned for its rock-hewn churches dating back to the 12th century, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking spiritual enlightenment and architectural marvels. This photograph encapsulates both aspects beautifully. As we gaze upon these dedicated women at work, we can't help but feel a sense of admiration for their unwavering commitment to their faith. Christianity holds great significance in Ethiopia's cultural fabric, and these nuns embody its essence through their daily rituals. Godong/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this moment with his lens - freezing time so that viewers from around the world can appreciate the beauty found within Bet Maryam church courtyard. Whether you're an avid traveler or simply an admirer of stunning photography, this print serves as a window into another world filled with tradition and spirituality.
