EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Wedding in Lalibela" photographer Philippe Lissac beautifully captures a moment of pure joy and spiritual significance. Set against the backdrop of the ancient Ethiopian town, Lalibela, known for its rich Christian heritage, this image encapsulates the essence of a traditional wedding ceremony. The main focus is on a radiant couple standing at the center of attention. Dressed in vibrant African attire, their love and devotion are palpable as they exchange vows before an intimate gathering. The bride's ethereal beauty shines through her beaming smile while the groom exudes confidence and pride. Surrounded by family and friends, all immersed in deep faith and spirituality, this photograph offers a glimpse into the profound connection between religion and culture in Africa. The atmosphere within the room is filled with reverence as guests partake in age-old rituals that symbolize unity and commitment. Lalibela's Roman Catholicism plays an integral role throughout this celebration; it serves as both a source of guidance for these individuals' lives together and an expression of their shared identity. Through Lissac's lens, we witness not only two souls united but also an entire community coming together to celebrate love under God's watchful eye. This powerful image reminds us that weddings are not merely personal affairs but rather moments that transcend individual lives – they represent tradition, spirituality, resilience, hope, and above all else: faith.
