Bet Giyorgis Celebrating Festival Festivity Lalibela Pilgrim Rock Hewn House Of Worship Rock Carved Spiritualism
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the vibrant festival at the rock hewn monolithic church of Bet Giyorgis (St. George's) in Lalibela, Ethiopia. The image showcases a group of pilgrims adorned in traditional gabi, or white shawls, as they celebrate outside the ancient church. The scene is filled with an atmosphere of joy and spirituality as people gather to honor their Christian faith. The colorfully dressed African pilgrims add a touch of contemporary flair to this age-old tradition, creating a beautiful fusion of old and new. As we observe from a high angle view, the rock carved church stands majestically amidst its surroundings. This UNESCO World Heritage Site holds immense historical and religious significance for Ethiopians and attracts travelers from all corners of the globe. Jane Sweeney's photography captures not only the physical beauty but also the deep spiritual connection that exists within this sacred space. It serves as a reminder that religion can be both personal and communal, bringing people together in celebration and devotion. This print transports us to another world - one where customs and traditions are cherished, where spirituality intertwines with festivity, and where pilgrimage becomes an integral part of life's journey.
