EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Philippe Lissac, we witness a powerful display of faith and devotion in the heart of Lalibela, Ethiopia. The image portrays a humble pilgrim prostrating himself outside the magnificent Bet Medhane Alem church, one of the most revered sites in Ethiopian Christianity. The scene is imbued with spirituality as the African man bows down before his Creator, enveloped by an aura of reverence and deep connection. His act of submission reflects not only his personal commitment but also represents centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. As rays of sunlight filter through ancient stone walls, casting a warm glow on the devout worshipper, we are reminded that religion knows no boundaries or limitations. This snapshot encapsulates both the individual's unwavering dedication to their faith and the universal power it holds to unite people across cultures and continents. Ethiopia's rich religious heritage is brought to life in this photograph - from its Coptic roots to its Roman Catholic influences - showcasing how diverse spiritual practices coexist harmoniously within this vibrant nation. It serves as a poignant reminder that amidst our differences lies a shared pursuit for meaning and transcendence. Philippe Lissac's lens has masterfully frozen this moment in time, inviting us into an intimate encounter with profound spirituality. Through this image, we are encouraged to reflect on our own beliefs while embracing the beauty found in various expressions of faith around the world.
