EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the serene courtyard of Bet Maryam church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the heart of Lalibela, Ethiopia. Bathed in warm sunlight, a priest engrosses himself in the sacred words of the Bible. His devout presence exudes an air of tranquility and reverence. The architectural beauty surrounding him is awe-inspiring; every detail meticulously crafted with devotion and skill. The church's exterior stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions and unwavering faith. Its intricate carvings and majestic archways create an atmosphere that is both grandiose and intimate. As we observe this scene unfold before us, we cannot help but be drawn into the rich cultural tapestry that Lalibela offers. This ancient town holds deep religious significance for Christians around the world, attracting pilgrims from far and wide who seek solace within its hallowed walls. The solitary figure of the priest reminds us of the power of one man's dedication to his beliefs. Through his customs and rituals, he upholds centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. This photograph by Godong/Robert Harding captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us to explore our own spiritual journey amidst breathtaking architecture and profound devotion. It serves as a reminder that there are places on Earth where faith transcends borders, connecting people across continents under one universal belief system – Christianity
