EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of spirituality and architectural marvel in one frame. A lone pilgrim stands beneath the towering windows of the monolithic Bet Maryam church, believed to be the oldest rock-hewn church in Lalibela, Ethiopia. The outstretched arms of the pilgrim symbolize a profound connection with faith and a yearning for divine blessings. The image showcases the grandeur of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with contemporary Christianity. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the church's exterior highlight its significance as a place of worship and pilgrimage. As we gaze upon this high-angle view, we are transported to Africa's heartland, where religion plays an integral role in daily life. The photograph beautifully captures not only architecture but also emotions - devotion, wonderment, and reverence. Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding skillfully captures both cultural heritage and personal expression through her lens. This stunning piece invites us to explore different customs while appreciating their universal appeal. It serves as a reminder that travel can be transformative when it allows us to witness such extraordinary destinations like Lalibela – places where history converges with spirituality under vast African skies.
