EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Young man praying in Lalibela" we are transported to the heart of spirituality and faith in Africa. The image beautifully captures a moment of deep devotion as a young man bows his head in prayer within the ancient walls of Lalibela, Ethiopia. His eyes closed, hands clasped together, and face illuminated by a soft ray of light filtering through the stained glass windows, he exudes an aura of serenity and tranquility. Lalibela is renowned for its rich religious history and is considered one of the holiest sites in Christianity. This photograph encapsulates the essence of African spirituality, showcasing how religion plays an integral role in people's lives on this diverse continent. The presence of a Coptic cross hanging around his neck symbolizes his affiliation with Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity—a faith deeply rooted in tradition and rituals dating back centuries. As we observe this young man immersed in prayer, we can't help but feel inspired by his unwavering devotion and connection to something greater than himself. Philippe Lissac's masterful composition not only highlights the subject's individual spiritual journey but also serves as a reminder that religion transcends borders and unites believers worldwide. Through this powerful image, we witness firsthand how faith has the ability to provide solace, hope, and guidance amidst life's challenges—no matter where one may find themselves on their spiritual path.
