Africa African Bible Book Coptic Ethiopia Sacred


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Philippe Lissac, we witness a profound display of devotion and faith. The photograph showcases a faithful man kissing a bible outside one of the ancient churches in Lalibela, Ethiopia. As he presses his lips against the sacred book, his eyes closed in reverence, we are reminded of the deep spiritual connection that exists between individuals and their religious beliefs. The scene takes place amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Lalibela's historical churches, which hold immense significance for both Christians and those seeking spiritual enlightenment. This particular moment encapsulates the essence of African spirituality and highlights the rich tapestry of religious practices found on this diverse continent. The man's act symbolizes an unwavering commitment to his Catholic faith, as well as an acknowledgment of the power held within scripture. His gesture serves as a reminder that religion can provide solace and guidance to believers even in challenging times. Through Lissac's lens, we are transported into this sacred space where time seems to stand still. The vibrant colors surrounding him contrast with his serene expression, emphasizing both his individuality and unity with something greater than himself. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures not only a single moment but also invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with spirituality and how it shapes our lives. It is a testament to the enduring power of faith across cultures and continents alike.
