This print captures a moment of deep spirituality and devotion as pilgrims line up to collect water from the sacred Jordan River spring in Bieta Ghiorghis (St. Georges House) church, located in Lalibela, Wollo, Ethiopia. The image showcases the vibrant colors of Africa, with its rich blue skies contrasting against the earthy tones of the landscape. The high angle view allows us to witness this ancient tradition unfold before our eyes. Men and women from different walks of life come together in unity, forming groups that eagerly await their turn to receive holy water. Each face tells a unique story - some filled with hope and gratitude, others reflecting quiet contemplation.
