EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent St. George Church in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Dating back to the 13th century, this Coptic Christian pilgrimage site stands as a testament to the rich history and religious significance of the region. Carved entirely out of solid rock, Bete Giyorgis (St. George Church) is an architectural marvel that has withstood the test of time. Its monolithic structure and intricate exterior facade are a sight to behold, drawing countless Orthodox pilgrims from all corners of Africa. In this snapshot captured by Mary Evans Prints Online, we witness a group of devoted Coptic pilgrims ascending the stone stairs towards their sacred destination. Clutching crosses and deep in prayer, these individuals embody unwavering faith and devotion. The image transports us back to the Middle Ages when Lalibela was at its peak as a center for Ethiopian Christianity. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it serves as an important reminder of Ethiopia's cultural heritage and religious roots. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Rights Managed, we can't help but feel humbled by both human ingenuity and divine inspiration that brought forth such an extraordinary place of worship. It serves as a visual testament to centuries-old traditions upheld by generations who have sought solace within these hallowed walls.
