Feet of the devout emerge from crypts of Bet Giyorgis, Lalibela, Northern Ethiopia. © Andy Richter

Andy says “Ethiopia is a timeless place, where often I felt as though I had stepped back in time hundreds of years, perhaps more.  The ancient Orthodox Christian rituals of the arid North left me without a context to base reality on…as I walked through the rock hewn churches, believers draped in white alight by flickering candles, I was transported back centuries.  Here, feet of the devout emerge from open crypts of Bet Giyorgis in Lalibela.”
