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.
