EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Goran Tomasevic, an Orthodox Christian is seen entering one of the 11 monolithic rock-cut churches in Lalibela, Ethiopia. The image transports us to a place where spirituality and history intertwine seamlessly. The striking architecture of the church stands out against the rugged landscape, showcasing the incredible craftsmanship and devotion that went into its creation. Carved entirely from solid rock, these ancient churches are a testament to human ingenuity and unwavering faith. As the devout Christian walks through the entrance, we can almost feel their anticipation for Orthodox Easter, which is just around the corner. Lalibela holds immense religious significance for Ethiopian Orthodox Christians as it is considered a holy site and pilgrimage destination. The photographer's composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of the structure and its intimate connection with nature. Sunlight filters through narrow openings in the rocks, casting ethereal rays on every surface. It creates an atmosphere filled with reverence and tranquility. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring quest for spiritual fulfillment. It invites viewers to contemplate their own beliefs while marveling at this remarkable intersection between religion and architectural brilliance.
