EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a profound moment of spirituality in the ancient city of Lalibela, Ethiopia. Standing before the monolithic church of Bet Maryam, a pilgrim extends her arms outstretched in fervent prayer. The sheer magnitude and grandeur of this rock-hewn structure serve as a testament to the unwavering faith that has endured for centuries within these walls. Believed to be the oldest rock-hewn church in Lalibela, St. Mary's Church (Bet Maryam) exudes an aura of sacredness and reverence. Its towering windows cast ethereal rays of light upon the devout worshipper, creating an atmosphere that is both mystical and serene. The woman's back view highlights her deep connection with her faith as she seeks solace and guidance within this holy place. Her presence adds a human element to the architectural marvels surrounding her, reminding us that religion is not merely about buildings but about personal devotion and introspection. Ethiopia's rich Christian heritage is beautifully showcased through this image, offering us a glimpse into its religious customs and traditions. As we gaze at this vertical composition, we are transported to another time where spirituality intertwines seamlessly with architecture. Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding masterfully captures the essence of this spiritual encounter through their lens, inviting viewers to contemplate their own beliefs while appreciating the beauty found within different cultures around our diverse world.
