EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a powerful moment of spirituality and faith outside the Bieta Ghiorghis church in Lalibela, Ethiopia. The image captures the essence of Christianity as worshippers gather for a blessing after Sunday service. The scene is filled with an aura of devotion and reverence as the priest, adorned in traditional vestments, raises his hands to bless the congregation. His face exudes deep spiritual wisdom and compassion, embodying the guiding force behind their religious journey. Surrounding him are men and women from all walks of life, united by their shared belief in Catholicism. A woman stands beside him, her eyes closed in prayerful contemplation while clutching a cross close to her heart. The presence of these individuals reflects the diversity within African Christianity. As sunlight bathes them in its warm glow against the backdrop of Lalibela's ancient stone architecture, it becomes evident that religion holds immense significance here. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into how deeply rooted spirituality is within Ethiopian culture. Philippe Lissac's skillful composition allows us to feel connected to this sacred moment even from afar. It reminds us that regardless of our own beliefs or backgrounds, there is something universally profound about witnessing such unwavering devotion and finding solace through faith amidst life's trials. This photograph serves as a testament to both individual piety and communal worship—a visual reminder that religion continues to be an integral part of people's lives across Africa and beyond.
