EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Philippe Lissac from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported to the enchanting town of Lalibela in Ethiopia. The image showcases a faithful man deeply engrossed in prayer, clutching his bible tightly against his chest, as he kneels outside one of Lalibela's ancient churches. The scene exudes an aura of spirituality and devotion, with the man's closed eyes and clasped hands conveying his unwavering faith. Surrounded by the magnificent architecture of the church, he finds solace and connection with God in this sacred space. Lalibela is renowned for its rich religious history and is considered a significant pilgrimage site for Christians worldwide. This photograph beautifully encapsulates the essence of African Christianity, highlighting both its deep-rooted traditions and vibrant spiritual practices. As rays of sunlight gently illuminate the man's face, it becomes evident that religion plays an integral role in his life. His presence outside the church symbolizes not only personal reverence but also a sense of community within Ethiopian society. This powerful image serves as a reminder that faith knows no boundaries or limitations; it transcends cultures and unites believers across continents. It invites us to reflect on our own spiritual journeys while appreciating the diverse expressions of faith found around the world.
